Having left the inland regions, a group of young people from Niger moves to the Ivory Coast in search of work. They arrive in Abidjan, in the popular district of Treichville, where they feel the contact with modern society causes them to lose their roots. The story is told by the protagonist, who calls himself Edward G. Robinson after the famous American actor. His friends also take on pseudonyms which gradually outline an ideal personality for each of them. Rouch takes an insight into their lives, mixing fiction with reality, by playing on the dialectic contrast between the real individual and the character he is impersonating. This film was awarded the Delluc Prize in 1959.
Born in Paris in 1917, Jean Rouch died last year in his beloved Africa, where he made most of his ethnographic documentaries. After having graduated in engineering, starting from 1947, he dedicated himself to the study of ethnology and the making of documentaries in the French colonies in Africa, initially under the guidance of Marcel Griaule. Considered from many aspects as one of the forerunners of the Nouvelle Vague, he was a pioneer of documentary technique in continuation of Robert Flaherty’s method. Among his unnumerable appointments, he was Director of the Cnrs of Paris, Secretary General of the Comité du Film Ethnographique and Director of the Cinémathèque Française.
