Chocolat
Directed by Claire Denis
Produced by Cinémanuel, Cerito Films
A melancholic, introspective meditation on colonial power dynamics and forbidden desire, filtered through the haze of memory and childhood perspective.
On her way to visit her childhood home in a colonial outpost in Northern Cameroon, a young French woman recalls her childhood, her memories concentrating on her family's houseboy.
