NEITHER CHAINS NOR MASTERS
FRENCH HISTORICAL MOVIE POSTER
Today I am taking you to the tropical island of Mauritius because we have the first poster for French historical drama movie NEITHER CHAINS NOR MASTERS (Ni chaines ni maitres) which should arrive to their cinemas September 25th
directed and written by Simon Moutairou with French superstar Benoit Magimel in the cast.

| The movie should be out this September |
THE STORY IS SET
in
1759. Isle de France (modern Mauritius). Massamba (Ibrahima M'Baye)
and Mati (Anna Thiandoum), slaves in the plantation of Eugène Larcenet,
live in fear and toil. He dreams of his daughter being freed, to leave
the green hell of sugar cane. One night, she flees. Madame La Victoire
(Camille Cottin), a famous slave hunter, is sent to track her down.
Massamba has no choice but to escape. By this act, he becomes a "brown",
a fugitive who forever broke with the colonial order.
I don't know if I'll ever watch it.
ReplyDeleteFrench films do often play in our European cinemas, especially now after the downfall of US theatres and cinemas and movie industry.
DeleteI wonder if we’ll get this here. It sounds like a story I’d be interested in watching.
ReplyDeleteIt is not unlikely, but probably just in limited special release.
