Note: An adaptation of the Flannery O’Connor novel (her first), this film is about a self-styled street preacher’s twisted efforts to fit into a world of shadows and scams. This is one of those strange movies that makes you feel a little bit guilty for laughing, but you can’t help it. So if you haven’t seen this off-beat film, a refugee from the golden era of repertory cinema — the 1970s — do yourself a favor and take a chance.

Review: “O’Connor’s dazzling first novel tells the hilarious and disturbing tale of Hazel Motes, a young Georgia man whose obsession with God leads him to run from God as fast as he can, only to crash head-on into the wall of Jesus and religion. On the way to smashup, or redemption—depending on how you read the book—Hazel’s path crosses that of a phony blind preacher and his slut of a daughter, Sabbath Lily; of a kid fixated on a mummy in the local museum; of a guy in a gorilla suit; and of a scheming huckster by the name of Hoover Shoates. It may already be obvious that probably no one but [John] Huston would have agreed to make this picture.” — Francine Prose.
