About the Show

THE NEON BIBLE

 

Enjoy a short curated pre-show before the film.

 

Gena Rowlands (A WOMAN UNDER THE INFLUENCE) stars in acclaimed filmmaker Terence Davies’ (DISTANCT VOICES, STILL LIVES) exquisitely stylized, bittersweet trip into the American South of the 1940s. When his flamboyant Aunt May comes to visit, the sensitive David turns to her for salvation from his troubled home life with a brutal father (Denis Leary) and an emotionally detached mother (Diana Scarwid). Before long, Aunt Mae takes a chance to make it as a singer in Nashville, leaving her sister and David behind but having a lasting and significant effect on his life. As with his other films, Davies is less concerned with plot here than with expressions of pure feeling, creating a floating sensation that few in cinema have achieved so effortlessly.
