The
Point of View Film Series at Tapp's Art Center will screen John Huston's "Wise Blood" (1979).
In this acclaimed adaptation of the first novel by
legendary Southern writer Flannery O’Connor, John Huston vividly brings
to life her poetic world of 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 small town of
Taulkinham. Populated with inspired performances that seem to spring
right from O’Connor’s pages, Huston’s Wise Blood
is an incisive portrait of spirituality and Evangelicalism, and a
faithful, loving evocation of a writer’s vision. -- Criterion
