Movie synopsis

Director Craig Brewer follows up his unexpectedly well-received pimp drama, HUSTLE AND FLOW, with this stylish tale of the unlikely connections that are forged when a lost soul attempts to cure a young nymphomaniac of her wicked ways. Set deep down south in a small Tennessee town, the film is titled after and largely driven by the force of blues music. Pulsating with color and bold cinematography, the story forms a visual counterpart to a blues ballad. When divorced ex-musician Lazarus (Samuel L. Jackson) finds Rae (Christina Ricci) badly beaten by the side of the road, he brings her to his house and chains her to his radiator. Rae has been a wreck since her boyfriend (Justin Timberlake) went off to war, and has spent her time getting into fights and being taken advantage of by just about every man in town. Rae appears to be afflicted with a physical need for sex that no one can cure. As Lazarus watches Rae twitching with pain on his couch, he sees that the young woman's only chance at redemption is in his hands.While the premise is outlandish, and the film opens itself up for much moral criticism, BLACK SNAKE MOAN has its merits. Deliciously colorful, the film aches with rhythm and dances visually with its subjects. Whether fetishizing Christina Ricci's emaciated body, or making Samuel L. Jackson look years older than he is in real life, the cameras do their job well. Both Ricci and Jackson offer strong performances that mark turning points in their careers. BLACK SNAKE MOAN seems less concerned with how it will be judged than with embodying the sexuality and passion of blues music. No matter how many viewers the film may offend, it succeeds in creating a world that vibrates with desire and raw energy.

Movie trailer and editorial reviews

"[Ricci is] the white-hot focal point of Brewster's loud, brash, encompassing vision of the soul's dark night survived, peering into the dawn."
Film Comment - Nathan Lee (01/01/2007)

"The blues here plays the role of an elemental force that can summon our deepest fears and rankest desires....[A] provocative picture..."
Premiere - Glenn Kenny (03/01/2007)

"[I]t's a film filled with sly pleasures....It marks Brewer as a much more interesting filmmaker..."
Box Office - Ray Greene (03/01/2007)

3 stars out of 4 -- "The film is carried to significant degree by Samuel L. Jackson....The new lean/mean Ricci may remind you of Susan Sarandon."
USA Today - Mike Clark (06/29/2007)

4 stars out of 5 -- "Sweaty, dirty and grimy it may be, just like the music that powers it, but underlying BLACK SNAKE MOAN is a rather sweet story."
Ultimate DVD - James Mottram (06/01/2007)

Entertaining at first then falls!

Created: 10/08/07
The Opening Scene breaks out with an intense Sexual Encounter between Timberlake and his Girl. As the movie progresses with Justin heading off to serve his Country, you quickly learn that his girl is a complete nympho to the Nth Degree. Within minutes it seems of his departure, she begins having Sexual Withdrawal Pains accompanied by mental anguish of wanting to keep her promise to be faithful. Predictably she plummets bouncing from one to the other until events lead her to being discovered by Samuel L. Jackson one Rainy night, unconscious and exposed at the side of the road. The next scene has our lovely Damsel in Distress waking and eventually discovering she has been chained as to prevent her escape. The Story progresses steadily with Samuel trying to force some Goodness into her all the while resisting the steady advances from the Nymph. The funniest part of the movie was while this girl was locked up and chained inside the cabin, a neighboring Young Boy approximately 13/14 comes kncoking on the door while Jackson is off in town. I will just say he gets a Greeting he will never forget!! So as a Genuine respect grows between the Girl and Jackson, the soldier returns for his girl only to find her missing with rumors of her infidelity to boot. He tracks her down to the cabin where a heated fight ensues between the Jealous knife-toting Timberlake and the cautious shotgunning Jackson. Timberlake shines in the closing scenes as he portrays some Believably Genuine Feelings!! All in all, it is a Good Movie (opening Scene). If you a Timberlake fan this movie is better to watch first before Alpha Dog (which is an Excellent) because he has a rather minor role...except for that Mildly Hot opening scene..LOL! Samuel Jackson fans will enjoy this one as he plays a different type of charecter than normal but yet maintains his typical stygma! Though there are some comical situations especially the one I mentioned, this tends to be more of a drama based on the struggles and desperation of an addict Nympho who crosses path with someone willing to go the extra distance to help someone in need against her will. My grade for this one would be a B-! Thanks for reading and Happy EBaying!

I bought this because I like the carecters Christina Ricci, Samuel L Jackson, and Justin Timberlake, The movie being played on blue-ray is awsome. I don't have no dislikes. The movie brings back memories about how we use to have singing like that and a ho down like that. Happy looking.

Redemption of the soul is skillfully drawn out

Created: 28/06/07
Redemption of the soul is skillfully drawn out in this racially charged, sexual based drama. Almost like a definition of the blues. This movie moves with a slow beat of recrimination, heartache, and above all redemption. There is a nice dry humor that adds some laughs in a rather black two hours. The redemption is the soul of the story or else this would be just one drawn out slut/nympho drunken B movie.

slow and so dull.

Created: 10/08/07
If I had not paid to see this movie and rode with a friend I would have walked out.
This was so slow and so dull.
Redemption was the message but honesty it could have been done soooooo much better.
Christina looks so hot in chains. Justin is hot although he is hardly in the film.
