CHOCOLAT (1988)

Claire Denis’ remarkable debut feature is a lyrical meditation on memory, colonialism and desire.
Set in 1950s Cameroon, the story is told through the eyes of France, the young daughter of a French colonial administrator. As she recalls her childhood, the fragile order of her family’s isolated colonial outpost is revealed, centred on the unspoken tensions between her reserved mother Aimée and the family’s dignified African houseboy, Protée.
With striking cinematography and Denis’ signature sensitivity to atmosphere and gesture, Chocolat is a deeply personal film that reflects on power, race and longing with quiet intensity.
