Collection of four films directed by Claire Denis. In 'White
Material' (2009), when coffee plantation owner Henri Vial (Michel
Subor), his son Andre (Christopher Lambert) and his ex-wife Marie
(Isabelle Huppert) find themselves caught up in the turmoil of a
rapidly disintegrating political situation, they refuse to
acknowledge the danger of the social unrest that has now reached
boiling point in their adopted homeland. Joining forces with a
black rebel army hero who is also embroiled in the tumult, the
Vials fight to survive as their world rapidly crumbles around them.
In 'Beau Travail' (1999), Sergeant-Major Galoup (Denis Lavant) is
growing increasingly jealous of the popular new recruit Sentain
(Grégoire Colin) and decides to bring about his downfall.
Eventually, when the platoon have left on a series of exercises,
Galoup manages to provoke Sentain into a direct confrontation and
the two of them come face-to-face for the last time in an
incredible sequence set against a harsh, rocky coastal landscape.
In 'Nénette et Boni' (1996), Boni (Colin) has enough trouble
containing his erotic fixation with the local baker's wife, but
when his estranged younger sister, Nénette (Alice Houri), arrives
on his doorstep claiming she's pregnant, a whole host of new
problems come to the fore. As the two struggle to adjust to their
new situation, they begin to understand each other as well as the
new responsibility which awaits them in the future. In 'Chocolat'
(1988), a young French woman returns to the remote bush region of
the Cameroons where she grew up. Her journey inspires recollections
of the colonial lifestyle, the servant she befriended and a
particularly unsettling incident when a plane crashed nearby and
the house was invaded by passengers and crew.
