Moi, un noir

Moi, un noir literally Me, a Black, translated as I, a Negro is a 1958 French ethnofiction film directed by Jean Rouch. The film is set in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.

The film traces a week in these immigrants lives, blurring the line between their characters routines and their own. Every morning, Tarzan, Eddy Constantine and Edward G. Robinson seek work in Treichville in hopes of getting thefrancs that a bowl of soup costs them. They perform menial jobs as dockers carrying sacks and handy labour shipping supplies to Europe.At night, they drink away their sorrows in bars while dreaming about their idealised lives as their movie alteregos, alternatively as an FBI Agent, a womanizing bachelor, a successful boxer, and even able to stand up to the white colonialists that seduce away their women. These dreamlike sequences are shot in a poetic mode. ........
