Review of Wise Blood (1979) by Pierluigi P — 12 Jan 2012
A good script. Female lead Amy Wright is terrific: a total scene-stealer. Nice location photography too. Still, this is not a very good movie (even if directed by John Huston--who has a small role as well).
The lead actor Brad Dourif (sp?) is poorly cast, exasperatingly one-dimensional. The musical score, by Alex North, is atrocious. I guess he's trying to turn this into a spoof but it does NOT work.
I can only hope Flannery O'Connor's fine novel is remade someday.
