Gripping look at racist attitudes during the last days of colonialism...
“Black Girl,&#34; directed by Ousmane Sembene, focuses on Diouana (M’Bissine Therese Diop), a young woman from a lower-class district in Dakar, Senegal, who is brought to the French Riviera to work as a nanny and maid for the family of a young French bureaucrat and his wife, identified only as Monsieur (Robert Fontaine) and Madame (Anne-Marie Jelinek). In France, she finds that their stories of a richer life, a pleasant environment, and good pay turn out to be far different from the reality. There are no children in sight, and she becomes more a slave than employee. Confined to her bosses’ flat, Diouana becomes a veritable prisoner, enduring the petty tyranny of Madame and the overt racism of her employers’ lunch guests. Because of the repeated abuse, Diouana is determined to escape, whatever it takes.<br /><br />“Black Girl” (1966) is widely considered the first feature film directed by an African. Made only six years after Senegal received its independence from France, the film is a gripping look at the lasting effects of European colonialism in Africa and prevalent attitudes of the time. Diouana is treated with complacent disdain by the white characters. Most disturbing is the matter-of-fact depiction of the young woman’s abuse by a couple who probably think of themselves as decent, enlightened individuals. Sembene’s pessimistic view is that Diouana and her white employers will exist side by side but on opposite sides of a mutual, misguided cultural chasm. At a mere 59 minutes, the film is a dramatic statement on racial marginalization.<br /><br />Bonus features on the 4K digital restoration Blu-ray release include Ousmane Sembene’s 1963 short film “Borom Sarret;” new interviews with film scholars; excerpt from a 1966 broadcast in which Sembene discusses his win of the Prix Jean Vigo for “Black Girl;” new interview with actor M’Bissine Therese Diop; a 1994 documentary about filmmaker Ousmane Sembene; alternate color sequence; trailer; and a critical essay.

Here is a brief synopsis of the title : Ousmane Sembène (Xala, Faat Kiné) was one of the greatest and most groundbreaking filmmakers who ever lived, as well as the most internationally renowned African director of the twentieth century but his name deserves to be better known in the rest of the world. He made his feature debut in 1966 with the brilliant and stirring Black Girl. Sembène, who was also an acclaimed novelist in his native Senegal, transforms a deceptively simple plot about a young Senegalese woman who moves to France to work for a wealthy white couple and finds that life in their small apartment becomes a prison, both figuratively and literally into a complexly layered critique of the lingering colonialist mind-set of a supposedly postcolonial world. Featuring a moving central performance by M'Bissine 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.BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES- New 4K digital restoration, undertaken by The Film Foundation s World Cinema Project in collaboration with the Cineteca di Bologna, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack - 4K restoration of the short film Borom sarret, director Ousmane Sembène s acclaimed 1963 debut- New interviews with scholars Manthia Diawara and Samba Gadjigo- Excerpt from a 1966 broadcast of JT 20h, featuring Sembène accepting the Prix Jean Vigo for Black Girl- New interview with actor M Bissine Thérèse Diop- Trailer- New English subtitle translation- PLUS: An essay by critic Ashley Clark - More!.
