[Atlántida FF] "Who are you as a photographer?", they ask the protagonist at the beginning of the film. This process of discovery of and acceptance of being more foreign in her own country than in Africa, supports part of the story. It portrays well the initial idealism, and the vicious circle of "an eye for an eye" that causes civil wars. Although the semi-documentary tone reduces the structure of the film too much, and it does not even manage to transmit clearly the warlike context of Central Africa, here a mere backdrop for this portrait of the war photographer Camille Lapage.

_Camille_ is a problematic film about a bourgeois young woman who can choose to do whatever she wants so chooses to go to Africa as a journalist to photograph civil unrest in the Central African Republic and judge people on both sides for their violence. What this film is not about are the women and children and men who have no choice but to be victims of a violent war. Yet we're meant to feel sympathy for the woman who suffered the effects of her freedom and not those who suffer the lack of theirs. Look, I don't blame Camille Lapage (the focus of this biopic) for this film whose narrative arc is as flat as a dead man's EKG. From what I understand about her, she probably would've been as disappointed by this white savoir testimony as I was. What I blame is a film that is "Dedicated to the inhabitants of the Central African Republic", yet doesn't include one word about the fate of any of the groups mentioned in the film.
