ln this acclaimed adaptation of the first novel by Iegendary Southern writer Flannery O'Connor, John Huston brings to Iife a worId of vivid, poetic American eccentricity. Brad Dourif, in an impassioned performance, is Hazel Motes, who, fresh out of the army, attempts to open the first Church Without Christ in the smaII town of TauIkinham. Populated with inspired performances that seem to spring right from O'Connor's pages, Huston's Wise Blood is an incisive portrait of spirituaIity and evangelicalism, as well as a faithful, loving evocation of one writer's vision. |
