Zombi Child, from director Bertrand Bonello (Saint Laurent) injects history and politics into an unconventional cross-genre horror-fantasy film.
The film follows the real-life story of Clairvius Narcisse (Mackenson Bijou), who falls dead on the street in 1962 Haiti, but is soon turned into a “zombi” when he is dug up from his grave and forced to work on a sugar-cane plantation. Shifting to present-day Paris at the Légion d’honneur boarding school, a rebellious teen named Fanny (Louise Labèque) befriends Melissa (Wislanda Louimat), who moved to France when her parents died in the 2010 Haiti earthquake. After recruiting her into a secret literary sorority, Fanny learns of Melissa’s connection to Clairvius, and becomes obsessed with her new friend’s past and culture, soon doing the unthinkable: seeking out her voodoo mambo aunt to solve her recent heartbreak.
The DVD edition of the critically well-received Zombi Child includes the following bonuses:
- Audio commentary by director Bertrand Bonello
- Bonus Short Film– Child of the Sky (Directed by Phillip Montgomery | United Kingdom | 16 minutes) – A young woman waked up in the desert, lost and cold. She is summoned by a powerful force to a strange woman who takes her in – but there is a price.
