This week, we discuss the influential 1966 Senegalese film "Black Girl," written and directed by Ousmane Sembene. The film follows a Senegalese young woman who works as a nanny for a white French family whose life turns into a nightmare when she accompanies them back to France and is forced to work as a maid. Topics include the film's overt postcolonial politics, its thoughtful deployment of production design and costumes, its reception in the west, and more.
