Movie: Passion Fish
Provenance: Jennings, Louisiana - about 40 miles west of Lafayette.
Loved this movie!
It went off on a couple of tangents occasionally (like with the interminable monologue about the anal probe from May-Alice's former colleague - don't ask), but overall - good story, rich character portrayals, predictable but satisfying ending.
Good music. Where The Big Easy focused on cajun music, zydeco played a prominent role in Passion Fish.
My favorite lines
"Morgan City, the lowest pit of hell."
"[I'm] CHANtelle, who's got no time for Louisiana French-talkin' cowboys."
"You makin' this shit up, right?"
"I'm at the Ramada in Lafayette. Call me."
My favorite character
Sugar! Played by actor Vondie Curtis-Hall, he radiates seductive charm. He's like the John Travolta character as the Angel Michael, who can't help but attract women.
And this song!
Danse de Mardi Gras:
Song from Balfa Brothers. This song is also on the Beasts of the Southern Wild soundtrack.
Recommend? Yes! A solid popcorn movie!
