Moi, un noir

Director: Jean Rouch

France . 1957 . 70mins


Refusing to conceal the artifice of his projects, and yet always able to craft an unforced, remarkably ‘natural’ tone in his work, Rouch follows three young Nigerian casual labourers, seeking work in Abidjan. Finding them at a transitional point in their lives, Rouch takes in their relationships and leisure time as well, painting a vibrant picture of a cultural scene and a city on the cusp of huge transformation.
