Chocolat

Claire Denis
Retro: Claire Denis
France Dalens returns to the place of her youth in Cameroon, where her father was stationed as a colonial administrator. The affection she had for their then manservant, Protée, is clear in her memory. Claire Denis' autobiographically based debut highlights the cracks in the structure of colonial implicitness.
