Scott R @ScottR Dec 1 NYT 1000 films. Although this tells an interesting story it doesn’t set the scene well, nor give much context. Ultimately it is also slow and brooding. It left me not really caring about the weak western characters whose actions frustrated. Saw on daily motion. See more 12/20/2015 Nice cinematography..EXTREMELY BORING. Not suggested to watch. See more 07/31/2013 The exquisitely shot slow moving French Film based heavily on the director's own experiences in Africa. Strong characters in an simple but proactive film that allowed the characters personalities to add themselves to the canvas of the vast African Landscapes. Although this film did travel rather slow it had many great scenes between the young girl & head black slave. It's a little bit dull in parts but it often has bouts of life. See more 02/27/2013 An evocative and beautifully shot period drama set in colonial Cameroon. The lethargic pacing and drawn out scenes make it a bit of a slog to sit through but there's no denying it's quiet power and that it has important points to make. Claire Denis went on to make the much better, similarly themed White Material. See more 02/24/2013 Johnny Depp as a gypsy! Hah! See more 11/11/2012 A gorgeous film about a young girl growing up in Africa during the last days of French colonialism. See more Read all reviews
