Eve's Bayou (1997)
''The summer I killed my father, I was 10 years old.'' So begins this fluid, feminine, African-American, Southern gothic beaut, an outstanding directorial debut from actress Kasi Lemmons that'll lure you in with its shimmering, dream-state visual elegance. The characters are unique — a well-to-do Creole family in the early 1960s; the themes are universal. —Lisa Schwarzbaum
