Eve's Bayou

Eve's Bayou (Amazon Prime) is an award-winning 1997 Southern Gothic drama film. Samuel L. Jackson stars. Diahann Carroll has a featured role as a fortune teller/witch. The film tells the story of Eve Batiste, a 10-year-old girl, who lives in a prosperous Creole-American community in Louisiana with her younger brother Poe and her older sister Cisely in the 1960s. Her father Louis (played by Jackson) is a promiscuous doctor in Louisiana's African American community who claims descent from the French aristocrat who founded the town of Eve's Bayou. Highly praised, this is a film where I definitely agree with the critics. Great atmosphere, excellent performances.

    Samuel L. Jackson looks so young in the photos you shared. I guess it was that long ago that this film was made.

      It's hard to realize how long ago 1997 was!

    Oh goodness! I know I saw this way back when but I can't remember exactly how it went. That's a common problem for me since Netflix--lol! But I remember it positively. Samuel L. Jackson is always good--whether a good guy or bad guy. ;)
