For those who love music, Tennessee Williams' plays, and want to see a drama about life, then this is for you. Beaird has written an engaging script and placed it in the hands of acting masters. "Aaaaaaaaack" is the first line uttered by the booming bass voice of James Earl Jones. Yet, it may as well had been Hamlet's conversation with the Ghost with all of the emotion and intensity the one syllable conveyed. Bear and Howler's diatribe on Mahler's Number 5 sets the stage for both stories beautifully. Jumper adds that unique Cajun wisdom only found in the Acadian wilderness. I find it sad that this film has gone virtually unnoticed. Such gems are rare, at best. Watch with an open heart and mind, and you will regret it. For the next year, you will search for your own copy, and drive your friends crazy as you beg them to see it.
