It’s 1950 in an Alabama juke joint, and the owner (Danny Glover) has one make-or-break chance to keep it open: booking the hotshot Guitar Sam. Sayles spotlights the musical cultures of the Deep South, showing resilience and renewal during the switch from acoustic to electric. The drama’s all-star cast includes Lisa Gay Hamilton, Charles S. Dutton, Stacy Keach, Mary Steenburgen, and real-life musicians Keb’ Mo’ and Gary Clark, Jr. 35mm print from the Yale Film Archive.
The “Treasures from the Yale Film Archive” series is presented with support from Paul L. Joskow ‘70 M.Phil., ‘72 Ph.D.
