La passante 1972 Directed by Safi Faye

As a young African woman arrives in Paris and walks past two men, one French and one African, the men admire her beauty and fantasize. The European man dreams of taking the woman out for dinner in a restaurant while the African man imagines the woman preparing him a meal at home. Through their dreams, both men reflect the ways in which their differing cultural backgrounds impact their interactions with women. Inspired by the poem 'À une passante' by Charles Baudelaire
