White Material (Criterion Collection)

Isabelle Huppert delivers an intense performance in Claire Denis' gripping drama about a French woman who refuses to abandon her family's African coffee plantation even as a civil war erupts in the immediate vicinity. Faced with dire threats to her own safety, her determination to remain appears increasingly self-destructive (if not mad) as soldiers hunt for the elusive leader of the rebellion. With Christopher Lambert, Isaach De Bankolé. 105 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: French Dolby Digital Surround stereo; Subtitles: English; deleted scenes; interviews; "making of" documentary; theatrical trailer. In French with English subtitles.
