Drifting through the memories

 

The Neon Bible (1995)


Directed by Terence Davis this film based on the novel of the same name stars Jacob Tierney, Gena Rowlands and Diana Scarwid. A teenage boy grows up in 1940s Georgia.


This film drifts in and out of a boys life without much drive or clarity. If you are big into art house style films this might be for you, otherwise it is a tiny bit oblique. I found the protagonist far too passive for this film to work, he is mostly an observer rather than a participant.


2/5
