Beloved
- 7PM
In Jonathan Demme’s big-screen adaptation of Toni Morrison’s supernatural novel, Oprah Winfrey gives a stunning performance as a formerly enslaved woman haunted by visitations from the daughter she killed years earlier to spare from slavery. Though overlooked by audiences unprepared for its uncompromising expressionist intensity, Beloved stands as an impossible-to-shake experience that captures the harrowing power of Morrison’s vision.
