"Anything that comes out of the South is going to be called grotesque by the northern reader, unless it is grotesque, in which case it is going to be called realistic..." Flannery O'Connor, 1958. Shy, funny, devout, disabled--words that describe one of the most acclaimed American short story writers of all time. Flannery O'Connor's stories about the southern U.S. have inspired writers, artists and musicians for decades with their dark humor and "gothic" sensibilities. "Flannery" tells the life story of a brilliant, young woman who died before she was forty through the eyes of contemporary writers and artists with cartoons, animations, never-before-seen archival footage and great music. Tommy Lee Jones, Alice Walker, Mary Karr, Tobias Wolff, Hilton Als, Alice McDermott, Bill T. Jones, Lucinda Williams--all share their opinions, their art and their music in this feature-length, NEH-funded documentary. How can people go to church AND commit murder, she wonders...?

This bio-pic, which details Flannery's deep religious faith, as well as her painful loneliness and eventual debilitating illness, offers a better understanding of the twisted weirdness, violence, and grotesque in her works. In many of these works, the violence and grotesque spark an inwardly mysterious revelatory connection to revelation and salvation and the divine, if viewed correctly through O'Connor's perspective. If you have read some of O'Connor's work and found it compelling but often too off-putting and weird, this film should make you think again and reconsider the deeper meaning of her compelling but very unusual and seemingly dark or "twisted" themes. It's also great to learn about the flesh and blood person behind the iconic stories. Highly recommended.
