“Listen up, white world / To my zombi roar”—René Depestre’s poem “Cap’tain Zombi” reverberates through this heady brew of a Voodou flick by the justly celebrated French auteur Bertrand Bonello (“Nocturama”). Moving between 2010s France and 1962 Haiti, “Zombi Child” is a teen movie that transmutes into a lacerating postcolonial critique—one knowingly complicated by the writer-director’s own whiteness.
