Denis is one of the most provocative filmmakers working today and White Material is her latest, visually stunning tale of the crumbling world of French colonialists in an unnamed country in Africa. The films stars the inimitable Isabelle Huppert as the woman whose struggles to hang onto her old life blind her to the changes taking place around her.
