In only his second feature, Portuguese filmmaker Pedro Costa brilliantly reworked Jacques Tourneur's classic I Walked with a Zombie into a reflection on his country’s colonial legacy.. A nurse, Mariana , accompanies Leão to his home on the volcanic islands of Cape Verde after an accident sends him into a coma. Yet he goes unrecognized by fellow denizens, leaving Mariana trapped with and eventually entranced by a mysterious community.. Official Selection at the Cannes Film Festival.. "New enigmas reveal themselves with each new viewing." - Jacques Rivette. “Costa creates moody, luminous tableaux to conjure an incantatory, Faulknerian earthiness." - The New Yorker
