Directed by Kasi Lemmons | 1997

With Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Samuel L. Jackson, Lynn Whitfield

“Lemmons’ first film uses the architecture of a family to explore how the supernatural subtends the dissonance of our inner and outer worlds.”
—Martine Syms

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.
