Following a UK exhibition of South African photographer’s Ernest Cole’s ground-breaking photobook House of Bondage – one of the most significant photographic works of the 20th century, which exposed the inhumanity and injustice of South African apartheid to the world – Oscar-nominated director Raoul Peck’s (I Am Not Your Negro) new documentary takes his story to film.

Narrated by actor LaKeith Stanfield, Ernest Cole: Lost and Found is filled with images of the photographs Cole risked his life to take; psychological portraits of existence within a brutal caste system, its violence and indignity. Published in 1967 when Cole was only in his 20s, House of Bondage exiled him to Europe and America for the rest of his life, enraged for decades by the silence of the West in the face of the apartheid regime.

In a picturesque Burgundy village, Michelle (Hélène Vincent) is enjoying rural retirement close to her old friend Marie-Claude (Josiane Balasko).

Elegant, slippery storytelling, daring tonal shifts and Vincent’s terrific lead performance make When Autumn Falls a really delightful offering.
