Eve’s Bayou: Director's Cut
Kasi Lemmons made a splash with one of the most distinctive directorial debuts of the 1990s, a richly atmospheric, Southern Gothic stew of sex, lies, and voodoo in which a young girl witnesses secrets, and deceptions tear her wealthy Louisiana family apart. A hothouse blend of Creole folklore, magic, and mysticism, Eve’s Bayou provides a scintillating showcase for a powerhouse ensemble of Black actresses.
With a new 4K restoration of the director’s cut, BAM offers a rare chance to see Lemmons’ preferred version of her singular drama on the big screen.
