Description: Anne Rice’s The Feast of All Saints is a tale set in 1840’s New Orleans about "free people of color", who formed their own class at a time when the predominant role of blacks in society was as slaves. The film focuses on the ordeal of one young man named Marcel Ste. Marie (Ri’chard), who searches for the truth about his heritage. As he finds his individual path into the future, Marcel is fully aware that he is a child of African and European descent, but his story is uniquely American.
A Feast Indeed... I was completely entranced with this movie the first time I watched it and was compelled to buy it for myself. I am an avid lover of Black History, especially the culture of Blacks in the French Colonies throughout the Americas. While this movie omits a lot of explicit compromising situations from Ms. Rice's novel, it captures a lot of her intensity as well as the intoxicating aura of New Orleans and the various exotic elements that came together to make it the 'bewitching' and invaluable city that it is... all the while providing a historic glimpse into the caste systems that existed in the 19 Century plantation-centered societies, even among people of color.
Great Movie Definitely one of the greastest movies about peoples of African decent. A wonderful history to learn about our people!
This is a great movie Unlike some movies produced from written works this movie is true to the story line of the book. If you enjoyed the book you will love this movie.
Pleasant Transaction Thanks to the seller for being truthful in his description of the item. Arrived in good timing and in really nice condition. Thanks a bunch!
IT'S ONLY ME, BUT: I LOVED IT. REALLY LOVED IT. SO MANY GOOD BLACK AND MULATO ACTRESSES AND ACTORS IN IT. JUST WONDERFULL ACTING. A TRIPUTE TO BLACK ACTING. A LESSON TO ALL OF HOW IT WAS IN HAITI IN THOSE DAYS AND HOW IT WAS IN NEW ORLEANS AND PARTS OF LOUISIANA BACK IN THE DAYS OF THIS TIME PERIOD. AGAIN JENNIFER BEALS IS EXCELLENT IN THIS TIME PERIOD ACTING. JM
