Mister Johnson

Description
The movie is set in 1923 in British Colonial Nigeria with a man named Mister Johnson. He is an oddity - an educated black man who doesn't really fit in with the natives or the British. He works for the local British magistrate and is always scheming, trying to get ahead.

Issues of race and racism here are as vague as they were in Driving Miss Daisy, and you are left with the impression Beresford is happy to dodge the issues he dabbles with.

Beresford and writer William Boyd have delivered a film strangely devoid of emotion and lacking a clear point of view.

I have seen "Mister Johnson" two times, and both times I admired its sense of time and place, and the thoughtful performances of Eziashi, Brosnan and Woodward.
