  • ""Reeling into the barbarously haunting allegorical world of living history and corrupted spiritualism that merge with riveting, exclusive sequences of Duvalierist tyranny, you experience an impression of the subliminal world that fuels the life and death battle to crack the shackled life. Clandestinely-filled prisons, Macoute spies, a sabatoged plantation, a perilous sea escape, and ... Executions and torture abound. Tension builds. A popular bloody revolt. A soldier kills a fisherboy, shattering the dream. Incensed throngs revive the ancestral quest for a just New Haiti."--Container for videocassette."
  • "A political documentary about life under two generations of Duvalier rule in Haiti. Mixes documents from daily life, including an interview with Papa Doc Duvalier, and fictional films to create a sense of horror, resistance, rebellion, and misery."
  • "Presents the story of Haiti's misery under two generations of Duvaliers. Reeling into the barbarously haunting allegorical world of living history and corrupted spiritualism that merge with riveting, exclusive sequences of Duvalierist tyranny, we experience an impression of the subliminal world that fuels the life and death battle to crack the shackled life. Clandestinely-filled prisons, Macoute spies, a sabotoged plantation, a perilous sea escape, and executions and torture abound. Tension builds. A popular bloody revolt. A soldier kills a fisherboy, shattering the dream. Incensed throngs revive the ancestral quest for a just New Haiti."
  • "A visual portrait of the misery, abuses, political repression and corruption suffered by the people of Haiti during the regimes of the Duvaliers."
  • "A look at the lives of President Francois 'Papa Doc' Duvalier and his son, Jean-Claude 'Baby Doc' Duvalier, who was his successor, and of their legacy of political repression and violence. Voodoo, poverty, religious devotion and violence are all intertwined in this original, compassionate picture of the eternal Haiti."
  • ""Krik? Krak! Tales of a nightmare pushes the political documentary into the realm of fantasy as the story of Haiti's misery under two generations of Duvaliers is told impressionistically ... Documents of daily life, including an interview with Papa Doc Duvalier himself, combine with scenes from fiction films to depict what a conventional documentary cannot--the shifts between levels of reality in Haitian life. Political repression and popular rebellion, poverty and voodoo, violence and religious devotion are all intertwined in a way that cannot be explained but should not be missed"--Container."
