Mister Johnson (1990) DVD9, Blu-Ray Criterion Collection

In a small village somewhere in Colonial Nigeria, Mister Johnson (Maynard Eziashi) feels blessed. He is an educated black man who has started working for a strict district officer, Harry Rudbeck (Pierce Brosnan), whose ambition is to build a large road. Mister Johnson makes sure that all of Rudbeck's documents are in order and that his letters to his superiors in London are dispatched on time.

Mister Johnson also pays very close attention to Rudbeck's manners and anything he has to say about England. He is fascinated by its history and traditions, and though he has never visited the country, he even considers himself English. Occasionally, he enthusiastically reminds the villagers and the local tribal leaders that he is different.

A few unwise decisions, however, dramatically change Mister Johnson's life. In a short period of time, he loses his clerk job and soon after that his beautiful wife (Bella Enahoro) leaves him. An altercation with the bubbly English owner (Edward Woodward) of the only general store in the village also forces his former employer to arrest him.

The film is based on Joyce Cary's 1939 novel of the same name, which is one of four novels the English writer completed after he spent seven years in Nigeria as a political officer.

Camille (1936) DVD5

Life in 1847 Paris is one constant party for women, like Marguerite Gautier (Garbo), who make their living charming wealthy men out of their money. For her love is a cold, calculated profession of the mind—a means to make ends meet rather than a noble endeavor of the heart. She lives on her wit; coupled with her radiant beauty, it creates wealth and a decadent lifestyle. But then the impossible happens: Marguerite meets a man who makes her believe. Armand Duval (Robert Taylor) slips into her private box at the opera one night by mistake, and the hardened vixen is mesmerized by his innocent flirting and genuine interest. She tries to resist, but the promise of a summer in the country proves too tempting. Marguerite begins to imagine a life with her suitor where she will live simply and honestly for the first time. But her past catches up with her, and Armand's father begs her to leave him to spare his career and family name. Marguerite realizes she is not worthy of true love, and drives a knife into her lover's heart by leaving him. But little does anyone suspect that Marguerite is deathly ill, and she doesn't have much time left. Will Armand find out the truth in time to save her from dying alone?
