Directed by Jean Rouch | 1970
With Damouré Zika, Lam Ibrahim, Illo Goudal
Having established a reputation for his ethnographic studies of West Africa, French documentarian Jean Rouch turned the tables with this slyly satirical narrative work. A pair of ambitious entrepreneurs from Niger travel to Paris to research a building project only to become increasingly consumed with studying the “exotic” peculiarities of French society. Inverting the white ethnographic gaze to brilliantly subversive effect, Rouch and his collaborators offer a bitingly funny deconstruction of the colonialist mindset.
