Equator

Running 1h 25m and made in Gabon, Equator (1983) is a Drama and Thriller film in the 123movies catalog. The cast includes Francis Huster and Barbara Sukowa; Serge Gainsbourg directs. 9 votes put it at 4.1/10. Although based on a novel by Georges Simenon, director (and songwriter) Serge Gainsbourg has superimposed several dark emotions and a subtle brutality over the weak plot about a man's trip to Africa and his unfortunate passion for a murderess whose amorality sends the disillusioned fellow back to Europe. Sometimes described as frustrating and self-centered, reactions to this film swing across a broad spectrum of complaints -- not the least might be whether or not Gainsbourg is using a clichéd and stereotypical view of "dark Africa" to convey what he sees in his characters.
