Audience Member Nice cinematography..EXTREMELY BORING. Not suggested to watch. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Johnny Depp as a gypsy! Hah! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member A gorgeous film about a young girl growing up in Africa during the last days of French colonialism. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Slow, presumably to match the pace of life, but largely successful story of childhood and the colonial experience, emphasising the alien presence of the uncomprehending Europeans, a recurring theme in her later films. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
