"The summer I killed my father, l was ten years old . . ." So begins Kasi Lemmons’s spellbinding feature debut, an evocative journey into the maze of memory steeped in fragrant southern-gothic atmosphere. ln 1960s Louisiana, a young girl (Jurnee Smollett) sees her weIl-to-do famiIy unravel in the wake of the infideIities of her charming father (Samuel L. Jackson)—setting in motion a series of deceptions and betrayaIs that will upend her worId and chaIIenge her understanding of reality. Rooted in CreoIe history, foIklore, and mysticism, Eve’s Bayou is a scintiIlating showcase for a powerhouse ensemble of Black actresses—including Lynn Whitfield, Debbi Morgan, and the Iegendary Diahann Carroll as a voodoo priestess—as welI as a profoundly cathartic exploration of trauma, forgiveness, and the elusive nature of truth.
