Les Revenants, czyli francuska odpowiedź na amerykańskie zombie

Abstract
In the chapter Les Revenants—A French Response to an American Zombie?, Lidia Prokopowicz presents a discussion of the eponymous TV series Les Revenants (2012-) aimed at analysing and interpreting the production as well as attempting to answer the question posed in the title. The creators of Les Revenants are seeking to develop original solutions that offer a real chance of making an impact on the psyche of the viewer to whom the series is addressed. Les Revenants is a kind of game between the story and its recipient that can bring a new quality to the discourse on zombies. A re-view of productions such as Les Revenants (Robin Campillo 2004), Låt den rätte komma in (Tomas Alfredson 2010), Higurashi no naku koro ni (Studio Deen 2006-2007) and also The Walking Dead (2010-), Dead Set (2008), and Contracted (2013) invites a further reflection on the magical closed space and the local community’s re-action to the contact with the supernatural.
