与僵尸同行 I Walked with a Zombie (1943)

[Jacques Tourneur]
Tourneur preferred I Walked with a Zombie to Cat People and frequently cited it as one of his favorite films. Of all Tourneur’s films, I Walked with a Zombie goes farthest in the direction of pure cinematic poetry and the use of sounds and images purely for their “power of suggestion,” a power enhanced by the film’s narrative strategies, whose insistent ruptures, enigmas, and contradictions force the viewer to give up the attempt to read the narrati...

昨天刚看完，不论是镜头还是情节都非常不错，本质上是部爱情片。几段伏都教招魂（祭典）和诅咒的仪式拍得非常到位，狂欢而神秘的巫舞亦为影片增色不少。片中运用了大量伏都教（又称“巫毒教”）役使僵尸的邪恶传说，其中运用到的巫术包括模仿巫术、接触巫术、巫蛊等，结尾处高大黑人僵尸欲带走庄园女主人的镜头让人想起《弗兰克斯坦的新娘》
