Man No Run

Man No Run

While filming Chocolat, Denis met Les Têtes Brûlées, a group of Cameroonian musicians who were superstars in their home country. When they embarked on their first ever tour of France in 1987 Denis was there to document their funny, poignant encounters and reactions to French culture.

Screened together with Vers Nancy, a ten-minute film inspired by philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy's book L'Intrus depicting a train conversation between an immigrant French woman and the author on the themes of his novel. These themes would later be fleshed out and explored in Denis' feature film L'Intrus (The Intruder).
