Review of Nightjohn (1996) by Marilyn T — 10 Aug 2007
A hymn to learning and determination, [i]Nightjohn[/i] is a thoughtful and moving film about slavery, perhaps the best I've seen. All the actors are superb, script is winning, and insight into human relations cuts deep.
Charles Burnett is one of our best unknown directors, and fact that he can turn out a film like [i]Nightjohn[/i] for Hallmark/Disney should indicate to those in power in Hollywood that more of his work should end up on the big screen.
Great stuff!
