Christopher Lambert, Isaach De Bankole, Isabelle Huppert.
Maria is an entitled white woman living in Africa, desperately unwilling to give up her family's crumbling coffee plantation despite the civil war closing in on her. A gripping evocation of the death throes of European colonialism and a fascinating look at a woman lost in her own mind.
DVD, widescreen.
COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Life During an African Coup D'Etat submitted by ekjensen on July 19, 2017, 2:58pm An exhausting and sad film about a white family caught in the middle of a modern African country's revolution, and their self destruction while trying to save/not save their coffee plantation. Isabelle Huppert is brilliant in this film that is NOT for everyone/everyday viewing.
White Material submitted by jibkidder on July 30, 2022, 9:51am Probably the best film of Claire Denis, Denis and Huppert and Vargas all together - that's a winning trio.
