Crazy in Alabama pits violence against our attempts to understand, live with, and stop it.
* A woman, abused by her husband, responds by killing him and decapitating him so she can hold him prisoner and prove her worth to him.
* A community, abused by those in power, responds with civil disobedience.
* A boy, horrified by the violence, prejudice, and hypocrisy of his role models, calls on the law and the media to bring about justice.
And yet... it's funny! "All I know is, one minute she was married to Uncle Charlie; and the next, she was gone wid' his head." The instant I heard that one line I was hooked, and would not turn away until it was done.
Excellent filmmaking.
