Wise Blood (1979) — A very unsettling film about faith.  This movie is not particularly enjoyable but it is very thought-provoking.  The performances, especially Brad Dourif’s, are amazing.  I’m not very familiar with Flannery O’Connor’s works.  I know I read some story by her in high school but I don’t really remember it one way or the other.  The movie has something to say about religion and while I’m not 100% what it is, I’m fairly sure it disturbs me.
