A strange singer with God-given talent drifts through the mythic city of Memphis under its canopy of ancient oak trees, shattered windows, and burning spirituality. Surrounded by lovers, legends, hustlers, preachers, and a wolfpack of kids, the unstable performer avoids the recording studio and is driven to spend time in his own form of self-discovery. Shown in fragments, his journey drags him from love and happiness right to the edge of another dimension.
DVD; region 1; anamorphic widescreen (16x9, 1.78:1) presentation; Dolby Digital 5.1 surround.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Oneiric character study... submitted by jibkidder on June 26, 2022, 9:37pm ... of a Memphis musician played by Willis Earl Beal. Fragmented, poetic and beautifully shot - this is a one of a kind movie. Still wrapping my head around the director, I didn't like his film "Donnybrook" much.
