"How To Make Love To A Negro Without Getting Tired"
1989
Directed by Jacques W. Benoit

With its controversial title (frequently censored in newspaper ads) and provocative subject matter,  this Quebec feature became one of the most talked about art house hits of 1990. The film follows the freewheeling lifestyle of an African student living in Montreal. His favorite pastime is picking up white women, some of whom are fairly blunt about their desire to see if the tales of a black man's sexual prowess are true. This mutually agreeable sexual study in race relations does not sit well with some of the local white men, including some dangerous drug dealers. Dubbed in English.  97 minutes.
