Black Snake Moan

Writer and director Craig Brewer returned with another original redemption tale rooted and infused with music. A down on his luck musician finds his call to save a young woman with his unconventional ways. There are some shocking images in the film that Brewer uses to his advantage to tell a compelling story about characters at the margins of society. Brewer's casting of Samuel L. Jackson and Christina Ricci in the leads are perfect but his ultimate trump is the music and locations that gives his characters authenticity. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
