Summary:
'The summer I killed my father, I was ten years old' 'So begins Kasi Lemmons's spellbinding feature debut, an evocative journey into the maze of memory steeped in a fragrant southern-gothic atmosphere. In 1960s Louisiana, a young girl sees her well-to-do family unravel in the wake of the infidelities of her charming father setting in motion a series of deceptions and betrayals that will upend her world and challenge her understanding of reality. Rooted in Creole history, folklore, and mysticism, Eve's Bayou is a scintillating showcase for a powerhouse ensemble of Black actresses. Disc contains the director's cut of the film.
