series Strange Desire: The Films of Claire Denis
Directed by Claire Denis | 2009
With Isabelle Huppert, Christopher Lambert, Isaach De Bankolé
A French filmmaker raised in colonial West Africa, Denis is one of the few major white directors to consistently interrogate whiteness. This searing exploration of colonialism’s legacy, co-written by acclaimed novelist and playwright Marie NDiaye, stars a typically arresting Isabelle Huppert as a stubbornly deluded white woman living in Africa who clings to her coffee plantation even as civil war encroaches.
