WHITE MATERIAL

In this drama directed and co-written by Claire Denis, Isabelle Huppert plays Maria, a white woman living in an African nation that has been falling into political chaos. Maria owns a coffee plantation in a former French colony. But the country is gripped by civil war and the terrified workers flee as increasingly violent clashes between the army and the rebel militia grow ever nearer. Maria regards her property as her personal domain; she would rather fight than give up her land, though her stubborn attitude prevents her from admitting that she's putting those close to her in danger. As brutal and heavily armed soldiers advance, the headstrong Maria stands defiant in the face of impending disaster.

Isaach De Bankolé is such a fine actor. Loved him in The Limits of Control so this looks like a good one too.
