About the film

What it’s about

Horn, a construction foreman in West Africa, shares a fenced compound with young engineer Cal. When Horn's partner Leone arrives from Europe, a man named Alboury enters the whites-only area. He refuses to leave until they hand over the body of his brother, who died on the site.

What hooks you

Claire Denis directs Isaach de Bankolé as Alboury and Matt Dillon as Horn, drawing on Bernard-Marie Koltès's play.

Who it’s for

It is a good pick for those who like slow-burning moral confrontations and drama that unfolds in a charged, confined setting.
