Deep, Dark Film!
Not for the Squeamish! It deals with sexual abuse of children. I saw an interview with Jenna Malone and she was emphatic to re-assure people that she was not herself abused during this film, she got along very well with Ron Eldard, and that she understood that it was acting, etc. I’ll bet that some actors turned down the role, given the subject matter. From a standpoint of dealing with the subject matter honestly the director Angelica Huston pulled no punches. There’s a haunting scene where Eldard was sitting in a car with Jena on his lap and he abuses her – I’m sure it was a very difficult scene to film! But it’s a “must see” for the realistic portrayal of a true story.
Powerful, disturbing, heinous is the human stain.
Anjelica Huston’s directorial debut is based on a novel by Dorothy Allison. A potent, emotional driven drama deep in the ways of poor South Carolina. It is post-WWII and a young Anney Boatwright(Jennifer Jason Leigh)gives birth to an illegitimate child. She names her baby Ruth Anne(Jena Malone), but she will be known as ‘Bone’. Life is difficult for the struggling waitress, who has another daughter and is forced to bury a husband(Dermot Mulroney)killed in an auto accident. Anney’s brother Earle(Michael Rooker)introduces her to her future…Glen Waddell(Ron Eldard). The two marry, but soon Glen starts taking his anger out on ‘Bone’. The bonds between mother and daughter will become dangerously strained when Anney finds her husband raping ‘Bone’. This following the constant violent physical abuse of the child behind her mother’s back. There is a strong ensemble cast, but the young Malone is brilliant beyond her age. Other players: Glenn Headly, Grace Zabriske, Diana Scarwid, Lyle Lovett, Christina Ricci, Pat Hingle and narrated by Laura Dern. Rated R for the strong depiction of sexual and violent abuse including two rape scenes of a child.
