Film & TV I Think About A Lot » Eve's Bayou (1997) dir. Kasi Lemmons
"When I was your age, before I ever did the counseling, I could look at people, complete strangers, and see their whole lives so clear. But when I looked at each of my husbands, I never saw a thing. That's how it always is. Blind to my own life."

Celebrating Kasi Lemmons! “Perseverance is what I tell my students. It's important that you keep your dream alive, because you're going to encounter a lot of obstacles, and no one is going to dream big for you. You have to have the fortitude and the resilience to stick with your own dreams. That can be hard.”

Harriet (2019) "It’s one of the rare movies that joins the radical subjectivity of a visionary to the manifold and complex forces of the times, that fuses its story with the story of the writing of history itself, that unites the concepts of political and cultural freedom, that acknowledges the historical centrality of armed self-defense as a practical necessity and a moral right." Read more in The New Yorker's The Stunning Achievement of Kasi Lemmons’s “Harriet”.

Talk to Me (2007) "I’ve got to say, I’ve never really made a film or any art, written a script or anything, for a message. I’ve never tried to deliver a message. I think that what we’re all struggling with as artists is just being understood."
Read more in aalbc.com's The “Talk to Me” Interview.

Eve’s Bayou (1997)
"Her writing and directorial debut, Eve’s Bayou, is an unsettling and beautiful story about one Louisiana family’s series of revelations: It’s complex, mystical, and doesn’t easily lend itself to categorical definition." Read more in The Atlantic's THIRD ACT:THE JOURNEY OF A HOLLYWOOD DIRECTOR.

Over the course of a long, hot Louisiana summer, a 10-year-old girl, Eve Batiste, discovers that her family's affluent existence is merely a facade. The philandering of her suave doctor father, Louis, creates a rift, throwing Eve's mother, Roz, and teenage sister Cisely into emotional turmoil. Eve, though, manages to find some solace with her quirky psychic aunt, Mozelle. (Starring Jurnee Smollett, Jake Smollett, Meagan Good, Debbi Morgan, Lynn Whitfield, Diahann Carroll, Lisa Nicole Carson, Samuel L. Jackson, and Tamara Tunie)
Released November 7, 1997

SOUTHERN GOTHIC CINEMA
“The Southern Gothic style employs macabre, ironic events to examine the values of the American South. Thus unlike its parent genre, it uses the Gothic tools not solely for the sake of suspense, but to explore social issues and reveal the cultural character of the American South – Gothic elements often taking place in a magic realist context rather than a strictly fantastical one. . . .  Many characteristics in Southern Gothic literature relate to its parent genre of American gothic and even to European gothic. However, the setting of these works is distinctly Southern. Some of these characteristics include exploring madness, decay and despair, continuing pressures of the past upon the present, particularly with the lost ideals of a dispossessed Southern aristocracy, and continued racial hostilities.”
A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) // The Night of the Hunter (1955) // The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) // Wise Blood (1979) // Interview with the Vampire (1994) // Eve’s Bayou (1997) // Winter’s Bone (2010) // The Beguiled (2017)

“Memory is a selection of images, some elusive, others imprinted indelibly on the brain. The summer I killed my father I was 10 years old. My brother Poe was 9, and my sister Cisely had just turned 14.”
Eve’s Bayou (1997) dir. Kasi Lemmons
