Black Snake Moan (2006)
I remember sitting in the cinema and seeing a trailer for Black Snake Moan. I thought here we go, another stab at the grind-house or exploitation thing that was sorta trendy at the time. I never went to see it and it faded away. Later, I saw the posters and though provocative, they simply put me off seeing the picture.
Exploitation cinema in my opinion signifies an era of filmmaking rather than a Genre. Times have changed and so called B movies or grind-house adoration flicks can have budgets in the hundreds of millions.
I finally got to see Black Snake Moan and was really suprised with what I got. It is a small picture with big performances. Chistina Ricci is totally convincing in her role. She is brilliant. The direction, narrative, editing and music are all excellent.
This movie has only one fault and that was the marketing campaign. What a shame that such an outstanding film should be so neglected. If you have not seen it I recommend that you do.
