Chocolat
March 31, 2019 4:00pm and April 5, 2019 9:15pm
Directed by Claire Denis | 1988
With Isaach de Bankolé, Cécile Ducasse, Giulia Boschi
Denis’ stunning debut feature finds her already in command of the suggestive, elliptical style that has become her signature. Informed by the filmmaker’s own experience growing up in West Africa, Chocolat explores the tensions—racial, social, and sexual—between colonizer and colonized as seen through the eyes of an eight-year-old French girl living in 1950s Cameroon and gradually awakening to the racism that surrounds her.
