Wisconsin Death Trip is an intimate, shocking and sometimes hilarious account of the disasters that befell one small town in Wisconsin during the final decade of the 19th century. The film is inspired by Michael Lesy's book of the same name which was first published in 1973. Lesy discovered a striking archive of black and white photographs in the town of Black River Falls dating from the 1890s and married a selection of these images to extracts from the town's newspaper from the same decade. The effect was surprising and disturbing. The town of Black River Falls seems gripped by some peculiar malaise and the weekly news is dominated by bizarre tales of madness, eccentricity and violence amongst the local population. Suicide and murder are commonplace. People in the town are haunted by ghosts, possessed by devils and terrorized by teenage outlaws and arsonists. Like the book, the film is constructed entirely from authentic news reports from the Black River Falls' newspaper with occasional excerpts from the records of the nearby Mendota Asylum for the Insane. The film also makes use of the haunting black and white photographs taken by the resident portrait photographer of Black River Falls at the end of the 19th century. Contemporary color documentary footage of the town today is also included at the end of each section of the film that take place over the course of four seasons.
不错的死亡纪录片，收藏
💉AESTHETIC
首先我要夸一波自己 生肉都没问题😁 其次这个纪录片的故事轻重很明白穿插也很秀 然后就是 嗯我喜欢这个作品镜头
没有想到纪录片也有cult的品种。
James Marsh 貌似在探索一种与历史资料本身契合的影像化文本，不追求今天从历史记录解读意义。

喜欢 很好的photograph和纪实纪录片的结合 创造出诡异的超现实画面有震撼到我
荒诞而不凌乱。如《白丝带》一般，一系列匪夷所思的暴力事件联合交织衬托出了一种疯狂的精神状态，背后的原因又巧妙地留白。黑白的重现，低语旁白都是导演手法上的精巧设计。个人评分7.8
十九世纪末威斯康星一小镇的纪事，各种关于死亡和疯癫的报道貌似琐碎，却暗里编织成更大的社会和文化矛盾。视觉风格化的事件重现更添奇异和疏离的氛围。和现代影像的交织让其有了更深层的指向。
英国纪录片导演James Marsh（奥斯卡最佳纪录片《走钢丝的人》）根据同名非小说文学图集改编。这部docudrama还原了19世纪末期因饥荒、矿业减产等问题影响下的黑河瀑镇所发生的：婴儿夭折、纵火、发疯、杀人、自杀让人震惊的新闻事件，构成了一幅那个时代美国中西部农村的沉痛浮世绘。注：影片无字幕
