NI CHAÎNES NI MAÎTRES (NO CHAINS NO MASTERS) Review: Rare Glimpse Into Slavery Resistance in Mauritius is Visually Striking but Uneven

NI CHAÎNES NI MAÎTRES (NO CHAINS NO MASTERS), the much-anticipated directorial debut of award-winning French-Beninese screenwriter Simon Moutaïrou, received a simultaneous theatrical release in France and Mauritius on September 18, 2024, courtesy of StudioCanal.

The film’s potential for wider international distribution is unknown. However, given that StudioCanal, a subsidiary of the Canal+ Group, is behind it, the parent company’s strong presence in Francophone African markets means there’s a possibility it could find its way to more of those countries, at least.
