If you loved Xala, try Black Girl
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Ousmane Sembène. If that's the register that drew you to Xala, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Black Girl is
La noire meets Vertigo when a Senegalese woman’s Parisian dream curdles into a Parisian nightmare as a live-in maid. Her postcard fantasies collide with daily humiliations until a single act of defiance upends the household. A New Wave parable carried by first-timer Mbissine Thérèse Diop.
