Amazon.com:
The lurid scenario--a nymphomaniacal white trash nymphet (Christina Ricci) is held prisoner by a bitter bluesman (Samuel L. Jackson)--gives way to an affecting tale of redemption in Black Snake Moan, writer/director Craig Brewer's follow-up to the acclaimed Hustle & Flow. Lazarus (Jackson, Jungle Fever, Pulp Fiction) finds Rae (Ricci, Monster, The Ice Storm) beaten unconscious on the road in front of his backwoods house. After bringing her inside, he learns of her wanton ways and decides to exorcise his own demons by curing Rae of her sexual compulsion. Black Snake Moan could have been terrible, but Brewer takes his story seriously enough to dig into the genuine emotions of such a situation (though along the way he certainly flirts with sexploitation overtones--several scenes look like they were plucked straight out of a hitherto unknown 1970s trash classic). Ricci, Jackson, and the supporting cast (including pop star Justin Timberlake, giving a surprisingly good performance as Rae's boyfriend) treat the characters with respect, honesty, and humor. The result is off-kilter and maybe a little too fond of its sleazy cinematic forbears to truly hit the emotional notes it's after, but Black Snake Moan has considerably more substance than its marketing would suggest. --Bret Fetzer

OK, this film is not for prudes--it's pretty sleazy. It's about a young nymphomaniac who ends up in the care of a single black man who has just lost his wife to his brother and is ticked off about it. What happens between them is pretty unusual and is what makes this film unique.
I love Hill Country Blues, the music championed by such luminaries as the late great R.L. Burnside and the North Mississippi Allstars. the NMA contribute to the soundtrack, and most, if not all of the songs ... Read More

BLACK SNAKE MOAN
I remember when this film first came out all I heard about was some big controversy about a black man chaining up a naked white woman. My first thought was who cares I have seen more offensive things on cartoons, I mean come on. So the time went by and I never had the desire to watch this movie, at first. Eventually my brother brought this by and said he had been wanting to see it forever, not because of the stuff sounding the film but because of the great Sam Jackson. ... Read More

I've got to admit, I got this for less than noble reasons, perhaps even prurient ones. Christina Ricci running around near-naked for the whole film? That's something I have to see...
OK, enough of the dirty old man act. EXCEPT, that's what the film is aiming at, isn't it? The poster -- the ads -- the first scene -- this is going to be an exploitation film, and an over the top one at that: nubile, waifish nymphomaniac Rae (Ricci) ends up bloodied and beaten, on farmer and ex-bluesman ...

This is a movie that the Academy somehow overlooked. Not since "Saving Private Ryan" lost Best Picture to a sub-average "Shakespeare in Love" have I been so perplexed as to "what were they thinking?". Black Snake Moan is a cool, sexy movie with a lot of class. Samuel Jackson finally gets a movie worthy of his talent (best work since "Pulp Fiction" and "The Negotiator", and Christina Ricci is worthy of a best actress nod as well. The story is dark, the music is soulfull, and the movie was at the ... Read More

The only movie I have ever had to walk out on. Pure garbage. Horrible plot, acting, and theme. It was offensive, just for the sake of being offensive.
