About

'Canadian nurse Betsy, who is employed to care for the catatonic wife of a rich plantation owner, arrives on the Caribbean island of Saint Sebastian to find a world of contrasts: of light and shadow, beauty and decay, and the living and the dead. The glitter in the water is actually putrescence and ‘everything seems beautiful because you don’t understand’. Both ahead of its time in looking at the ghosts of colonialism and sometimes of its time in the delivery, I Walked with a Zombie leaves room for interpretation, confusion and awe, in what filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul called one of the most beautiful black-and-white films ever made.'
