Flannery O'Connor Centennial: Wise Blood

In this acclaimed adaptation of the first novel by legendary Southern writer and Savannah native Flannery O’Connor, the brilliant and fearless filmmaker John Huston (The Maltese Falcon) vividly brings to life her poetic, off-kilter world of American eccentricity. Populated with unforgettable characters and inspired performances that feel as if they’ve leapt straight from O’Connor’s pages, Wise Blood is a darkly comic and incisive portrait of spirituality, fanaticism, and the search for meaning in a fractured world. The screening will feature a post-film conversation with producer and Savannah native Stratton Leopold, who worked on the film.
