'White Material' refers to objects which carry a great deal of importance to the whites, but mean nothing to the locals. A boy soldier finds a gold lighter and keeps it but dismisses the object as having no real value. Likewise Maria's coffee plantation is white material. The DJ even describes their coffee as mediocre.
Claire Denis Directs White Material
While her workers flee for their lives Maria carries on as normal, recruiting more labour from the impoverished locals. When gunmen hold up her truck and demand payment she tells them she knows who their parents are and what they did for a living as if this matters now. Andre wants out an intends to pay the local mayor for safe passage. Manuel (Nicholas Duvauchelle) , their son, is practically inert until a disturbing encounter with a couple of child soldiers turns him into a lunatic.
The latest film from the remarkable French director Claire Denis is an occasionally mesmerising, but often tiresome movie with a protagonist whose stubbornness is infuriating. Isabelle Huppert plays Maria, a coffee plantation owner whose insistence on staying as her adopted homeland descends into murderous chaos defies all reason.
Written in collaboration with novelist Marie N'Diaye White Material is more accessible than earlier Claire Denis films like Beau Travail (1999) or the underrated Trouble Every Day (2002) but much less rewarding. Still a lesser Denis film is better than much of what is on offer at cinemas today.

Beginning with armed troops raiding the plantation and finding the corpse of rebel leader The Boxer (Isaach de Bankole) and then setting fire to the place air max ltd, we are shown a glimpse of how things will end. We know this nike air max turbulence, every character around Maria knows this airmax 97, especially her husband Andre (Christophe Lambert) but she is too arrogant about her place in the world to see the danger.
Despite critiquing post-colonial attitudes Denis takes no side. She dedicates the film to both Maria and the fearless young rascals, rascals being the nickname given to the youthful rebels by a disc jockey who hands out advice to them over the radio. Maria however is so unsympathetic it is difficult to care too much about her fate. She is a snob who exploits her workers, hectors her son to the point of psychosis and refuses to listen to any advice.
Maria Refuses to See Sense in White Material
Fine Performances by Isabelle Huppert and Christophe Lambert
With her pale freckled skin Isabelle Huppert looks like she should be kept away from the sun. Maria seems to have been out in the heat to long and it has fried her brain. Huppert conveys Maria's courage, but also her arrogance in thinking she can go on as before. Christophe Lambert looks burnt by the sun, with his frazzled blondish hair and his careworn features. Following on from his fine performance in La Disparue de Deauville (Sophie Marceau 2007) Lambert gives another wounded turn here.
