White Material (2009)

Posted on 05:00 by khali
Essential Viewing
France/Cameroon
Feature Film
Director: Claire Denis
Writers: Claire Denis, Marie N'Diaye, Lucie Borleteau
Cinematographer: Yves Cape
Composers: Tindersticks
Cast: Isabelle Huppert, Christophe Lambert, Nicolas Duvauchelle, Isaach De Bankolé, William Nadylam, Adèle Ado, Ali Barkai, Daniel Tchangang, Michel Subor

Whilst an increasingly violent civil war rages in their adopted African homeland, Maria, a white Frenchwoman, and her family strive vainly and foolishly to harvest their coffee crop, refusing to believe that their time there is over, in Denis’s haunting cine-nightmare, which develops from suspense-filled thriller to strangely alluring fatalistic character study, following the majestic Huppert towards her inevitable fate.
