Isaach De Bankolé (Night on Earth), Giulia Boschi (Notte italiana) and François Cluzet (The Intouchables) star in this 1988 Palme d'Or-nominated drama from filmmaking great Claire Denis.

A young French woman returns to the vast silence of West Africa to contemplate her childhood days in a colonial outpost in Cameroon. Her strongest memories are of the family's houseboy, Protée—a man of great nobility, intelligence and beauty—and the intricate nature of relationships in a racist society.
