His incursion into a haunted territory of African American history leads him to make radical choices such as selecting at once the fantastic genre and structuring his film around numerous flashbacks. The effect is gripping, but also stifling and disorientating for the spectator. His aesthetic approach, at times debatable, seems to redefine the moral implications of Sethe’s murder of her children and the inscription of distress and of the modes of survival on screen. |
