Down in the Delta



Here's an intro to the first couple of minutes to a tremendous film, "Down in
the Delta," with an unbelievably stellar cast.

I have always loved Alfre Woodard, and she shines in this movie as always.
Rounding out the blockbuster cast are Loretta Devine, Wesley Snipes, Esther
Rolle (in what was, I believe, her final role,) the scene-stealing Mary Alice
(featured in the above clip,) and many more. Truly great ensembles are my
weakness, and this film is perfectly cast.

A great story about families in conflict, personal transformation, finding your
way, and redemption. A Southern tale, a Family Tale, a Mother's Tale....and
definitely a Life Tale and a Feel-Good Tale.

Shy People



Typical of the 1980s, the trailer is completely cheesy and fails to show the
dark and deep nature of the story. Riveting acting and a dramatic twist
keep you engaged throughout, and the Tangerine Dream original sound-
track makes it surreal.
