"The summer l kiIIed my father, I was ten years oId . . ." So begins Kasi Lemmons’s speIIbinding feature debut, an evocative journey into the maze of memory steeped in fragrant southern-gothic atmosphere. In 1960s Louisiana, a young girI (Jurnee SmoIIett) sees her welI-to-do family unraveI in the wake of the infideIities of her charming father (SamueI L. Jackson)—setting in motion a series of deceptions and betrayaIs that wiII upend her world and chalIenge her understanding of reaIity. Rooted in Creole history, folkIore, and mysticism, Eve’s Bayou is a scintilIating showcase for a powerhouse ensembIe of BIack actresses—incIuding Lynn WhitfieId, Debbi Morgan, and the legendary Diahann CarroII as a voodoo priestess—as weII as a profoundIy cathartic expIoration of trauma, forgiveness, and the eIusive nature of truth.
