The Savage State
 112 min | Year: 1978 |  France

L'Etat Sauvage is based on the novel by Georges Conchon which won the highly esteemed Prix de Goncourt. The story chronicles the mindless racism of both the departing French colonial overlords and the emergent black Africans in a newly emerging African state. Laurence (Marie-Christine Barrault) suffers the outrage of her white acquaintances, including her former lover Gravenoir (Claude Brasseur) and her ex-husband Avit (Jacques Dutronc), for her affair with Patrice Doumbe (Doura Mane), an official in the new government. He in turn is ridiculed by his fellow cabinet ministers for stepping out with a white woman. The vilification escalates to such a point that Patrice is brutally murdered, and Laurence barely escapes the country alive, with the help of her ex-husband Avit.

Quite rare film , L'état sauvage (1978) - www.imdb.com/title/tt0078550/

Plot - L'État Sauvage is a 1978 French political drama directed by Francis Girod set in a newly independent African nation where white colonial powers still control key government positions and openly despise the local population. At the center of the story is Laurence, a French woman who abandons both her husband Avit and her former lover Gravenoire to pursue a passionate affair with Patrice Doumbé, the country's idealistic black health minister. Their interracial relationship scandalizes both sides — her white acquaintances treat her as a traitor, while Patrice's own cabinet colleagues mock him for being with a white woman — and as political corruption and racial violence escalate around them, Patrice is brutally murdered and Laurence barely escapes the country alive, saved ironically by the very husband she left behind.
