Chocolat

1988, Movie, 1h 44min

Claire Denis drew on her own childhood experiences growing up in colonial French Africa for her multilayered, languorously absorbing feature debut, which explores many of the themes that would recur throughout her work. Returning to the town where she grew up in Cameroon after many years living in France, a white woman (Mireille Perrier) reflects on her relationship with Protée (Isaach De Bankolé), a Black servant with whom she formed a friendship while not fully grasping the racial divides that governed their worlds.

God film om at vokse op i Afrika som hvid. Filmen kritiserer (lidt mellem linierne) imperialismen og kløften mellem 'dem' og 'os'.
