Hud, 1963 - ★★★★★

Even something good and beautiful can produce disease and rot. This is almost a retelling of the story of Job. A good man does lose everything despite his continued faith.

But the film is called HUD for a reason. And as the old man says, when we hold up evil as something admirable, our souls may already be lost.

Raw performances that drive home the depths of despair and desire for sin and redemption that lives in all men.
