Motherhood is a curious feeling. On the one hand, it is the result of a biological process leading to the natural prerogative of protection of an infant. It is expected to be instinctive, with the same appearance and passion found in every corner of humanity. The reality, however, is quite different, as motherhood is inextricably linked to personal flaws and societal circumstances.

In 2016, the accomplished documentary filmmaker Alice Diop, sat in the courtroom in the town of Saint-Omer, listening to the chilling testimony of Fabienne Kabou, a French-Senegalese woman accused of killing her infant daughter. Kabou breast-fed the baby before placing her on the sand of the Berck-sur-Mer beach, leaving her to drown in the rising tide. Why did Kabou do such a thing? Kabou’s answers (“It was simpler that way”) were ambiguous and ultimately unsatisfying, at least in terms of determining motive. Kabou was examined by psychiatrists and was declared paranoid but well enough to stand trial. Kabou spoke of evil forces threatening her baby. Diop, born to Senegalese parents, and pregnant at the time, was drawn to attend the trial almost like a magnetic force. Kabou’s testimony made Diop reflect upon her own life, her mother, her impending motherhood, as well as the experience of being “othered” in the land of her birth. “Saint Omer,” Diop’s first narrative feature, is the result of this powerful personal experience. And what a powerful film it is.

Steve a 25 ans, la dégaine d’un « loulou des quartiers » ceux-là même qui alimentent les faits-divers sur la violence des banlieues. Il faut dire que « petite racaille », il l’était encore il y a quelques mois. Avec ses potes, compagnons d’infortunes, il « tenait les barres » de sa cage d’escalier, rêvant d’une vie meilleure entre les vapeurs des joints qu’ils se partageaient entre amis.

En septembre 2008, il décide subitement de changer de vie. À l’insu de ses copains du quartier, il entame une formation d’acteur au cours Simon, une école de théâtre parmi les plus prestigieuses en France.

Depuis, Steve embarque chaque jour dans son RER B. Depuis la station d’Aulnay il rejoint Paris et l’univers doré des enfants bien nés. Bien plus qu’un voyage social c’est un parcours initiatique qu’il entame dès lors, en tentant de faire de ce rêve d’acteur une entreprise de reconstruction.

Ce film suit Steve à ce tournant de sa vie et tente de raconter sa difficile métamorphose.

The post Alice Diop – La mort de Danton (2011) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Synopsis
The RER B is an urban train that traverses Paris and its environs from north to south. Multi-award-winning documentary filmmaker Alice Diop takes us through these suburban spaces and confronts us with some of the faces and stories of which they are composed.
A moving testament to the importance of filming as a process of bearing witness and remembering, Nous is timely in many ways. It is subtle and shrewd in a world that favours shortcuts and easy answers. Justifiably adopting the fragmented structure of a patchwork portrait in order to describe a riven society, Diop displays impressive control of her essay and its impact. In the film’s first few minutes, a deer is observed, through binoculars. A certain sense of awkward, man-made distance stays with us. Isolation, discrimination and nostalgia for hierarchies, inherited from a monarchical past … Divisions haunt France’s present. But the human urge to give as well as to receive stubbornly creeps into every situation, observed or triggered. Could this be the one thing that still keeps a nation together?

The post Alice Diop – Nous (2021) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Synopsis
In competition at the Cinéma du Réel Film Festival in Paris (March 2016) where it received the Institut français Louis Marcorelles Award, On Call is a film that makes a difference and is necessary as an increasingly fearful Europe faces the influx of refugees and migrants.
In a small doctor’s office, a fixed camera is placed on one side or the other of the room, allowing either the practitioner or the patient to be seen. How is it that the viewer remains glued to the screen for more than an hour and a half with such a minimalist approach? Glued, moved, in total empathy with those men and women, their pain, their suffering?
No doubt, it is what Alice Diop felt from the impact of hearing about these dramatic experiences that speak of the terrible evolution of a world where violence has become commonplace.
