Wise Blood (1979) Wise Blood

Wise Blood ★★★½ 1979 (PG) Gothic drama about a drifter who searches for sin and becomes a preacher for a new religion, The Church Without Christ. Excellent cast in achingly realistic portrayal of ersatz religion, southern style. Many laughs are more painful than funny. Superb, very dark comedy from Huston. Adapted from the Flannery O'Connor novel. 106m/C VHS. Brad Dourif, John Huston, Ned Beatty, Amy Wright, Harry Dean Stanton; Director: John Huston; Cameo: Alex North.
