The World of Apichatpong WeerasethakulJacques TourneurThursday, May 4, 21.30 hThursday, May 11, 16:30 PMWalter Reade TheaterApichatpong Weerasethakul in person for introduction on May 4In Jacques Tourneur’s second collaboration with producer Val Lewton, a Canadian nurse working on an island in the West Indies turns to voodoo with the hope of curing her patient. Loosely based on Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, I Walked with a Zombie features a quite peculiar kind of romance and is perhaps Tourneur’s most poetic film: a haunting, audacious studio picture that presents a complex meditation on colonialism and our relationship with the past, as seen here through the living’s uncanny connection to the dead.For me, this is one of the most beautiful black-and-white films ever made. A white lady in a trance walks through the sugar plantation, drawn by the sound of the drum and the sea waves. Every time I see it, I see something different: a dream of independence, a primitive science fiction, and a fear of others.I also enjoy the film’s silent moments. Previously, they did not need to fill in all of the sound components in order to captivate the audience. —Apichatpong Weerasethakul
