The Leopard Man
Jacques Tourneur, Fearmaker
December 14, 2018 - January 3, 2019
Tourneur’s third collaboration with Val Lewton concerns a black leopard that escapes during a publicity stunt and becomes suspect in a killing spree upending a quiet New Mexico town. Screening with The Man in the Barn.
Tourneur’s third collaboration with Val Lewton is this adaptation of Cornell Woolrich’s novel Black Alibi, concerning a black leopard that escapes during a publicity stunt and becomes the suspect in a killing spree upending a quiet New Mexico town. Like in Cat People and I Walked with a Zombie, The Leopard Man stations real sentiments about racism, xenophobia, and fear of the other within its somewhat outlandish horror narrative, and makes particularly chilling use of music and sound: the trilling of castanets never conjured such dread as in this film.
