Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Black and White in Color is a 1976 film directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud. It was a co-production between France and Ivory Coast.The film is set in January 1915 in Fort Coulais, a small, dusty, entirely obscure and forgotten trading post somewhere in French Equatorial Africa. Hubert Fresnoy, a teacher and botanist at the trading post, receives a large package of long-delayed mail. As the residents of the trading post read the newspapers and other articles sent to them, they realize that France has been at war with Germany for several months. Out of a feeling of patriotic duty, and also because there is nothing else to do there in the butt-end of Nowhere, the six Frenchmen at the trading post resolve to impress the local Africans into an army and attack the even tinier German trading post not far away.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Black and White in Color was submitted by Ivory Coast to the Academy Awards and won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. It remains only one of two films from the entire continent of Africa to win the Oscar, the other being Tsotsi. | |

Chekhov's Gun: The very first scene shows a German officer conducting military drill with African soldiers. While none of the Germans or their men are seen on camera again until the very end of the film, this opening scene establishes that the Germans actually have a trained-up army. Thus it is not surprising when the silly little French expedition is hurled back in defeat. | |

Canon Immigrant: This film was originally titled La Victoire en chantant ("Victory sings") in France, from a line in a French martial song. Since that reference would be lost to international viewers the international release was titled Black and White in Color. Then, when the film was re-released in 1977 in France after winning the Oscar, it was titled Noirs et Blancs en couleur. | |
