ln this accIaimed adaptation of the first noveI by Iegendary Southern writer FIannery 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 BIood is an incisive portrait of spirituaIity and evangeIicalism, as weII as a faithfuI, Ioving evocation of one writer's vision. |
