Child of God
James Franco (who directs, stars and co-writes) tackles Cormac McCarthy's first great novel, the eloquently grim tale of a Tennessee hillbilly's descent into necrophilia. Scott Haze plays Lester Ballard, chuntering his way across forbidding landscapes until he happens upon a dead woman and hauls her home to play at relationships. A faithful adaptation with a keen sense of timelessness and place, Child Of God to replicates McCarthy's rough-hewn poetry through bleak photography, off-key cutting, anonymous voiceovers and the requisite banjo score.
