초록

Laurent Cantet’s film "Heading South" (2005), which is set in a beautiful Haitian hotel in the Caribbean, was adapted from the short story "La Chair du Maître" (The Chair of Patrons) by Haitian author Dany Laferrière. The film represents the sex tourism of white middle-aged women, the violence of Jean-Claude Duvalier’s regime, and the subordinate lives of the people in Haiti in the late 1970s. To satisfy their sexual desires, Brenda, who is a 48-year-old woman, Ellen, a 55-year-old French Literature professor from the United States, and Sue, a middle-aged worker from Canada, engage in sexual relationships with young men in Haiti at the cost of money or gifts . Meanwhile, the reception at the presidential palace is luxurious and the buffet is magnificent, even though Haitians are living a hard life due to extreme poverty. This study specifically examines the unequal relationship between white women tourists and native young black men through the symbolic ‘mask’ and the monologue which reveals the truth. Furthermore, I discuss the similarities between tourism and colonialism through the lives in the hotel where tourists stay and in a marketplace where natives live.
