S'EN FOUT LA MORT
France, Germany | 1990 | Claire Denis

Two Beninese immigrants coach their rooster for an illicit cock-fight in the basement of a restaurant. The second feature film by Claire Denis (Beau Travail, Trouble Every Day) - known for her daring inspection of how bodies navigate themselves and ‘learn’ their place in a violent world - puts its focus on the two men working to carve out their own space, identity, and masculinity within the French imperial core marked by divisions of race and class. "It’s a film that’s influenced by Frantz Fanon’s Black Skin, White Masks. I understood something in Fanon’s book that touched me immensely." Subtitles. 90 min.
