Primary
The film's dominant themes align with left-leaning critiques by depicting the horrors of exploitation through forced labor and the patriarchal desire for control over a woman, despite its individualistic resolution and some problematic portrayals of voodoo.

Its narrative does not critically portray traditional identities and instead reinforces them, even when depicting a white villain whose actions are rooted in individual depravity rather than a critique of broader identity. The portrayal of non-white characters and culture aligns with stereotypical and colonial tropes of the period, rather than promoting diversity or inclusion.
Secondary
