Its strength is that it is a genuinely scholarly, disciplinary assessment of the completed film, written by an anthropologist rather than a film critic, giving a nuanced rather than purely celebratory account. Its limit is that it is one reviewer's 1982 assessment, aimed at an academic readership, not a survey of Haitian Vodou practitioner opinion of the film, which no source found for this entry independently supplies.FactsClaims Backed By This Source (13 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsAssessmentReliability TierWell-attested1George M. Epple's 1982 review of Divine Horsemen in American Anthropologist, the top tier reflecting a genuinely scholarly, disciplinary assessment of the completed film written by an anthropologist rather than a film critic. It is one reviewer's 1982 assessment aimed at an academic readership, not a survey of Haitian Vodou practitioner opinion of the film, which no source found for this entry independently supplies.NotesWell-attestedDecember 1982 issue. Epple judges the film to have limited usefulness for a general audience but calls it a thrilling visual document of Haiti for the informed viewer, a split assessment this entry carries whole rather than picking the more flattering half.CitationAuthorWell-attestedGeorge M.
