Synopsis

A young French woman returns to the silence of West Africa to contemplate her childhood days in a colonial outpost in Cameroon. Her strongest memories are of the family’s houseboy, Protee – a man of great nobility and beauty – and the intricate nature of relationships in a racist society.

MUBI's take

One of the great auteurs of cinema, Claire Denis marked her arrival with this breathtaking, semi-autobiographical masterpiece. Starring arthouse favorite Isaach de Bankolé, Chocolat sees Denis exhibit her characteristic eye for landscapes and male physicality amid the power dynamics of colonialism.
