This movie has a surrealistic form and delivers a strong political message. What a shit hole Haiti has become thanks to all the creole pigs from Duvalier to Preval. Shit is it's theme and political corruption and oppression it's storyline. Thats the gospel truth.

「ゴスペル」とは、また痛烈なアイロニーだな、と恐れ入りました。中盤の豚たちの様子を見て、豚も同じ生き物だと痛感し、その豚たちの受難は人間??特にここに映し出される人々となんら変わらないことを思い知りました。

ショッキングな映像が続きながらも常に詩的かつスタイリッシュにまとめられており、政治的でありながらも単なるプロパガンダには終わっていない、すばらしい作品だと思います。彼の他の作品も見てみたい。

外からみるものと中で生きるものの価値観の違い。 豊かさと満足の違いを感じました。
