Euzhan Palcy on SUGAR CANE ALLEY | From Studio 9

Palcy made an auspicious debut with this tender portrait of boyhood set in rural 1930s Martinique, which benefited from the support and mentorship of French New Wave fondateur François Truffaut. Adapted from Joseph Zobel's semi-autobiographical novel, Sugar Cane Alley centres on 11-year-old José (Garry Cadenat), who lives on a cane sugar plantation under the care of his ailing but fierce-spirited grandmother M'Man Tine (Darling Légitimus), who yearns to spare him from the same hardships that she has been forced to endure. A vibrant and affecting view of Black life in a post-slavery society, imbued with commentaries on social stratification, pan-Africanism, and masculinity, Sugar Cane Alley is deceptively slight in narrative but emotionally walloping in impact. Winner of Best First Film at the Césars and multiple awards at the Venice Film Festival (including the Silver Lion), the film announced Palcy as a force to be reckoned with, and brought Hollywood knocking at her door soon thereafter. http://tiff.net
