Chocolat (Denis, 1988)

French colonial past is touchingly explored through the eyes of a little girl and her relationship with the family's black servant in Cameroon in this international breakthrough of acclaimed filmmaker Claire Denis. A sole white family live in a remote town in Cameroon during the last days of France's African colonies. Their ordered world is threatened with chaos when a plane full of strangers makes an emergency landing nearby, its arrival unleashing a torrent of simmering resentment, racism and repressed passions.
