Black Snake Moan [Blu-ray]

In this provocative and affecting character study, Samuel L. Jackson stars as a righteous Tennessee farmer who finds a beaten harlot (Christina Ricci) outside his house and does everything in his power to return her to the path of righteousness and salvation. Ricci is a revelation as the lust-in-the-dust wanton woman with deep-seated psychological problems. Written and directed by Craig Brewer. The film's title comes from the name of a blues standard by Blind Lemon Jefferson.
