3. Mister Johnson
Mister Johnson is a 1990 American drama film based on the 1939 novel by Joyce Cary.
The film was entered into the 41st Berlin International Film Festival, where Maynard Eziashi won the Silver Bear for Best Actor.
In 1923 British Colonial Nigeria, Mister Johnson 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 considers himself English, though he has never been to England.
He is always scheming, trying to get ahead, which lands him in a lot of hot water.
