Eve's Bayou

No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Kasi Lemmons
1997 / 109min / DCP

One of the essential works of the 1990s and recently selected for the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry, Eve’s Bayou is a film of rich, steamy sexuality and an incredible sense of place, that follows the loss of innocence that occurs when the daughter of a well-to-do Louisiana family (Jurnee Smollett) catches her father (Samuel L. Jackson) in a moment of infidelity. Boasting an impressive line-up of actresses, including living legends Lynne Whitfield, Debbi Morgan, Meagan Good, and Carroll, unforgettably intense as the mysterious fortune teller Elzora, it’s a seductive tour de force in an atmosphere thick with voodoo, other Creole legends, and household magic.
