“A film of diabolical restraint, singularly unsettling, suffocating…”
—Le Monde
Two men. One Black, one white. Todd Haynes meets Fassbinder meets Genet in this tale of a mild-mannered white accountant who finds release at the hands of a dutiful Black masseur, who deals out pain and pleasure in equal measure. Freely adapted from a short story by Tennessee Williams, Claire Devers’s NOIR ET BLANC is a forgotten masterpiece, haunting and immaculate, featuring work by cinematographer Christopher Doyle and an early appearance by Isaach de Bankolé. “Utterly singular, both in subject and form” (Fabrice Revault d’Allonnes). New 4K Restoration.
