lack of detail

From the beginning to the end, it seems obvious that the director lacks the grasp of the relationship between the whole and the details. Many parts of the story are not clearly explained, and the three redemptions do not have a gradual and understandable process. The whole movie seems to be too much in pursuit of noir, visual and psychological impact, but ignores the film and the story itself.
Christina Ricci's performance is still the same, and when I watch it, I can't stop thinking of her performance in The Devil's Head.

Black Snake Moan quotes

  • Reverend R. L.: Ima tell you something and it's just gonna be between you and me. I think folks carry on about heaven too much, like it's some kind of all you can eat buffet up in the clouds and folks just do as they told so they can eat what they want behind some pearly gates. There's sinning in my heart, there's evil in the world but when I got no one, I talk to God. I ask for strength, I ask for forgiveness, not peace at the end of my days when I got no more life to live or no more good to do but today, right now... What's your heaven?

  • Lazarus: Collar your dog!
