Full Plot Details

It's the mid-nineteenth century Louisiana. Falconhurst, a run down plantation, is owned by Warren Maxwell, and largely run by his son, Hammond Maxwell, who walks with a limp due to a childhood accident. Hammond is under pressure to get married and produce a male heir to continue the Maxwell legacy before Warren dies. With no experience courting a potential bride - his sexual experiences confined to slaves and whores - Hammond ultimately chooses his cousin Blanche for his wife in what would not be considered a courtship in its true sense. In turn, Blanche agrees to the marriage largely to escape the realm of her sadistic brother, Charles. As his father tells him is custom, Hammond, while on his and Blanche's honeymoon in New Orleans, also obtains a slave as a go to sexual partner, he buying Ellen, who he met when she was given to him in hospitality when visiting who was then her master. Concurrently, Hammond also purchases Mede, a Mandingo, as a slave, something Warren had always wanted because of their physical strength. The plan with Mede is to breed him with their female slaves to produce further Mandingos who they can sell for a higher price than other black slaves. However, Hammond, out of circumstance, uses Mede in the potentially lucrative sport of no holds barred slave fighting, often to the death. Hammond and Blanche end up having an unsatisfying marriage largely due to something Hammond discovers on their wedding night, he turning to Ellen instead as the preferred woman in his life. Blanche, in return, takes her anger out on Hammond in the only way she knows how. In the process, it is their slaves who pay the price for their problems.

Movie Reviews

TIME Magazine - 7/10 by Richard SchickelUntil this moment we cannot be certain that the movie is going to employ every cliche of antebellum melodrama.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 6/10 by Dennis SchwartzAt least offers no tears for the demise of the good ole days in Dixie.
Q Network Film Desk - 4/10 by James Kendricktoo trashy to be good drama, but too dramatic to be good trash
Chicago Reader - 4/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumOne of the most neglected and underrated Hollywood films of its era.
Austin Chronicle - 0/10 by Mike EmeryThis is a deeply depressing film. The main problem is that shock value is the centerpiece, so the theme of slavery is just a vehicle for horrific gore and interracial sex.
User Review - 10/10 by Carol TWhat a great movie. Captures the spirit of the book. A little strange, but good.
User Review - 10/10 by Patricio Pthis a great film, cant even feel the length. its extemely controversial!!! lots of racism but with taste and gusto. BY FAR ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE FILMS
User Review - 10/10 by Christopher WSlavery as it was raw and uncensored, if you can take watching the whole thing then you need help. Though you don't want to miss the slave boil at the end.
User Review - 10/10 by Joe RLet's see...Peter, Julie, Happy, and myself (plus some others) saw this at "The Box" a few nights back and I'm still thinking about it. Terrific film which, despite its reputation, is not sleazy in the least, but rather a sad reminder of America's horribly violent past.
User Review - 10/10 by Private UThis is one of the best slave era movies based on a book, next to ROOTS ofcourse. It is really a must see, especially for white people. YES I SAID IT.
