Synopsis

Claire Denis (BEAU TRAVAIL) made her astonishing debut with a semi-autobiographical ode to her childhood. Set in French colonized Cameroon, a white woman looks back on her friendship with her Black servant from childhood, examining desire and the nebulousness of memory. Denis’ early fascination with the dynamics of sensuality and identity — as well as the beginning of her creative partnership with actor Isaach de Bankolé — are observed in this new 4K restoration.
