FILM REVIEW: ‘Wildcat’ sheds light on Flannery O'Connor's faith and fiction and leaves audience searching for grace.
Actress Maya Hawke portrays O’Connor, and her father, Ethan Hawke, directed, co-wrote, and produced the film.
When O’Connor died of lupus in 1964 she left behind a great body of work, including a third novel, still unfinished, titled ‘Why Do the Heathen Rage?’
It’s no surprise that so many writers, critics and filmmakers are mining O’Connor’s writings for study and edification.
COMMENTARY: Novelist of grace and grittiness said: ‘I write the way I do because and only because I am a Catholic.’
FILM REVIEW: Classic film’s madman chases two little children across bleak black-and-white landscape.
COMMENTARY: Contemplating what constitutes ‘a good and beautiful work.’
COMMENTARY: ‘How is it that the billions of stars live in such harmony,’ Aquinas asked, ‘when most men can barely go a minute without declaring war in their minds?’
Both found joy in the lives God had given them.
