#WhiteMaterial, 2009, directed by #ClaireDenis and starring #IsabelleHuppert is another look into the #HeartOfDarkness, this time that of the arrogance of #whiteDenial born of #whitePrivilege.

Marie chooses to ignore reality and believe she, her family, and their plantation will be safe even as a righteous reckoning closes in.

She clings desperately to what was never hers, and earns her just, brutal fate.

A tense, slow-burn of a #film on #TheCriterionChannel
