This and the one where the women are on strike because the Petainist French took their grain are the only ones I have seen of his. I would rate them 5/10 and 6.5/10 respectively.
https://www.criterion.com/films/28849-black-girl >Ousmane Sembène was one of the greatest and most groundbreaking filmmakers who ever lived, as well as the most renowned African director of the twentieth century—and yet his name still deserves to be better known in the rest of the world. He made his feature debut in 1966 with the brilliant and stirring Black Girl. Sembène, who was also an acclaimed novelist in his native Senegal, transforms a deceptively simple plot—about a young Senegalese woman who moves to France to work for a wealthy white family and finds that life in their small apartment becomes a prison, both figuratively and literally—into a complexly layered critique of the lingering colonialist mind-set of a supposedly postcolonial world. Featuring a moving central performance by M’Bissine Thérèse Diop, Black Girl is a harrowing human drama as well as a radical political statement—and one of the essential films of the 1960s.
I like the movie, but Criterion's Blacklatry is so cringe. No, he isn't "one of the greatest and most groundbreaking filmmakers who ever lived"
>kills herself just because the white couple overworks her and treats her like shit
I don't get it; why not just quit and go back to her home country
Couldn't really remember the reason neither.
but I think she found out about the hard truth that just because imperialism and shit didn't really exist anymore, the impact still exist.
She thought that just because moving to France is going to change her life for good but no it's actually the opposite. she still have to work for a minimal wages and get unfair treatment from her boss.
Something like that, that's my interpretation, I couldn't really remember shit except that the movie awaking my jungle fever inside me.
black women are the most oppressed category on the planet. and it shows because they are always submissive. in london the difference between the entitled white c**ts and black women is staggering.
Black person women are 1000 times more annoying than normal women

He is certainly groundbreaking for being the first black African film director. That is groundbreaking regardless of his film's actual content.
Not really true. Moustapha Alassane's career started in 1962, Sembène's in 1963.
There may be earlier ones I don't know of.
who's the most greatest Black director then?
Ousmane Sembène
>kills herself just because the white couple overworks her and treats her like shit

Access to white people is a human right
Well her home country was France since France was the owner of Senegal at that time.
Which made her unable to change the workplace she found unpleasant? Did she sign a 30 year contract or something?

I don't think she did.

Same. There should've been more bare black breasts in that smooth crispy '60s B&W

Oumarou Ganda was from Niger
