    Black and White in Color is a 1976 film by Jean-Jacques Annaud. It was his first full length film after a career of directing television commercials. The film is about a small group of French settlers on the Ivory Coast during World War I. They colonized the area and convert blac...( read more)k people to Christianity and count them as French. There is also a small German settlement in the area with corresponding Germanization of some other black people. The film is roughly based on actual events of WWI. When the French outpost receives word of WWI breaking out back in Europe they feel that they must do the same in Africa, despite the fact that no one tells them to. With no orders they improvise a plan. The film is pretty hilarious in some parts. The dogma, egotism, and certainty of most of the characters that they are doing the right thing is quite laughable in much of the film. The editing and music are quite good and the character development is good too. The film won the Academy Award for best foreign language film in 1976. I think most people would like watching it.
