Résumé
Literally framing "Hazel the desperate believer" (Tarantino, 15) in Wise Blood, John Huston inscribes on screen with surprising restraint O'Connor's Gothic South of religious hysteria. His documentary-like but also paranoid capture retains the same strange and humorous quality as that of the Catholic author of the source novel. How then is it captured on screen by a self-proclaimed non-believer ? And which kind of strange unenlightened prophets and con men does the filmic narrative bring to the fore ?
