The Fence

As far as the eye can see, a vast construction project in West Africa is tightly secured, with its guards, watchtowers and barbed wire. At night, by the fence, a man makes himself known: he tells the British contractor that he has come to retrieve the body of his brother, who died there just hours earlier. Claire Denis returns to IndieLisboa with an adaptation of Bernard-Marie Koltès’s masterful play Black Battles with Dogs.
