Black Girl
1965. France/Senegal. Written and directed by Ousmane Sembène. With Mbissine Thérèse Diop, Anne-Marie Jelinek. Lovingly photographing his title character, Sembène heightens the contrast between a young, beautiful African woman and the petty bourgeois French family who house and ultimately destroy her. A direct and aching parable about colonialism and cultural identity. Courtesy New Yorker Films. 80 min.
