Featuring a moving central performance by Mbissine Thérèse Diop, Black Girl is a harrowing human drama as well as a radical political statement—and one of the essential films of the 1960s.
A young Senegalese woman moves to France to work for a wealthy white couple. But she soon finds that life in their small apartment becomes a figurative and literal prison.
The brilliant and stirring Black Girl (La noire de . . .) is the 1966 feature debut of Ousmane Sembène.
Sembène is known as one of the greatest and most groundbreaking filmmakers who ever lived and the most internationally renowned African director of the twentieth century,
With this film Sembène, who was also an acclaimed novelist in his native Senegal, transforms a deceptively simple plot into a complex, layered critique on the lingering colonialist mindset of a supposedly postcolonial world.
