Wise Blood
“An American Masterpiece!”
ComedyDrama
A Southerner--young, poor, ambitious but uneducated--determines to become something in the world. He decides that the best way to do that is to become a preacher and start up his own church.
VIBE
A haunting, darkly funny descent into Southern spiritual decay. It feels like a fever dream, where desperate souls chase salvation through a landscape of profound disillusionment and bizarre faith. Unflinching and strange.
