One of the most exceptional debut features of the last forty years, and winner of the Camera d’or at Cannes, Noir et blanc is a film like no other, and with this new restoration should instantly be regarded as such. Two men, a white accountant and a Black masseuse, both work at a sports club, where their sessions increase in intensity. Soon they are on a shared path on which, only perhaps, neither expected to join the other. Oblique, stark and riveting cinema.
Restored in 4K from the original negative with the support of the CNC.
