Review of Wise Blood (1979) by Drew M — 22 Jun 2009
Brad dourif is like a man possessed. well, he's generally like that but it works perfectly for hazel motes, prophet of the church of truth without christ. this is twisted southern gothic, full of grotesque characters, and a fine adaptation of flannery o'conner's novel, about a man haunted by a childhood with his tent preacher grandfather, played by the director.
another great huston film from the 70's, bit hard to get hold of. wicked, disturbing, the blackest of comedies and a frightening portrait of obsession.
