black snake moan is uproarious. it is over flowingly rich and fantastically orchestrated and strange and cumbersome and unique and visionary. in continuation of hustle and flow and brewer paints his portrait of the american south almost as a mythological land one would expect to see in a fantasy or ancient greece epic. and yet as far high above us his movies hover and they are still rooted while rooted in the deepest and darkest soil there is. as in traditional fairy tales and brewer paints his portrait in black snake moan using extremes and exaggerations. sharp and stark character traits and when coupled with such extreme acts as chaining a half naked white girl to a radiator in an attempt to redeem her of her sins and exaggerate and emphasize the metaphor the same way such extreme visual techniques such as some characters having colour in pleasantville strengthened the metaphor in that fairy tale film. but brewer doesn not begin his film with once upon a time while in this film and also in hustle and flow and brewer presents us with a different fairy tale while a dark and gothic fable of sex and prostitution and and ultimately and redemption. these themes run through the film veins like blood and resonate and bloom in its dark and brooding setting. but despite these harsh extremes and brewer treats his characters like humans and and creates extremely well executed and three dimensional characterizations in lazarus and rae and particularly emphasized with their relationships with lazerus friend at the pharmacy and angela and and rae mother. the acting is and all around and quite perfect. one gets the feeling that both christina ricci and samuel l. jackson were born to play these roles. their characterizations are so intense and so severe while it even more of a challenge for the actors to keep their heads on and craft realistic characters. and they succeed admirably. samuel l. jackson in particular utterly disappears into his character and which serves as a polar opposite to most of the character he played before. with films like pulp fiction and jackie brown and shaft and and others and he has crafted for himself a typecast of the ultimate bad ass. in black snake moan jackson plays an old and broken and defeated and earthy character quite unlike anything he done before. and frankly and it just fantastic. what comes as quite a surprise and though and is the casting of justin timberlake and and more specifically and the fact that he comes across as quite tolerable. sure he doesn not have much screen time and but like what brewer did with ludicrous in hustle and flow and he actually gets timberlake to act and do what he is meant to do and and not come across as totally unconvincing and irritating. but what is really so incredibly great about the movie is the atmosphere brewer creates. the rural southern locations work to his advantage in creating a dark and dirty and grimy and crusty and rugged kind of texture to the entire film and which more than fits in with the film thematic and metaphorical aspects. and by utilizing all sorts of elements such as the rising sound of cicadas when rae gets her itch and or a raging thunderstorm that increases and intensifies as lazarus plays his black snake moan blues number for rae and brewer truly manages to create almost a fantasy world and an undermined mythology to the rural southern setting. and it works so utterly fantastically to craft brewer unique vision. and one can not talk about a craig brewer film without mentioning the music. in hustle and flow and he utilized a soundtrack of down and dirty and street wise hip hop music to emphasize the atmosphere and the vision. in this film and the music works even better at polishing off and fully representing the unique atmosphere. it is a rural blues soundtrack and but it the dirtiest and rawest and grittiest blues you have ever heard. and it sounds just absolutely fantastic. in all and it can be said that had this movie been a simple tale of an old and broken and lonely and god fearing black blues singer redeeming a young white woman who was sexually abused as a child and now suffers from nymphomania and there may have not been very much to write home about. but this film is not about the plot and and not even about the characters and as well as they are crafted in the film regardless. no and this film is about the vision  and what a unique vision it is. it is about the atmosphere and the mythology and the setting. it is about anger and fear and redemption and and most importantly and the blues. and it all wrapped up in a unique and entertaining and stylized and impeccable ribbon. brewer has guaranteed himself a spot on the most promising up and coming directors list and and with such a solid follow up to a great debut film and hustle and flow and he will definitely be on my radar for future projects. it also must be mentioned that the film has one of the most fantastic and unique titles i have heard yet.
