Miss Zombie (2013)
Simple yet very entertaining

Saw it last night at Fantasporto festival and positively surprised me. The black and white cinematography is wonderful, with very beautiful images and lights in spite of the action plays in only a few places during the entire movie. Being a movie with zombies, the make-up is also good. It's a movie with zombies but not a zombie movie in my opinion. It's a story that made us think about themes like love, marital relationships, rape, slavery, life and death. The duality between humans and zombies is also very interesting, once the zombies seem to gain human characteristics throughout the movie while humans became more like abusers and acquire other moral problems, turning zombies into victims. The pace of the movie is slow but right, with almost no dialog but where the sounds and minimalistic music plays the role of a story teller. You can even laugh a bit in a dozen of scenes. I recommend it for people open minded enough to see a story with zombies but with a very humanistic theme, and without the gore madness so typical of the living dead.
