About this product

Product Information

THE NEON BIBLE, writer-director Terence Davies first literary adaptation, is based on John Kennedy Toole's coming of age story set in the 1930s and 1940s Bible belt. Similar to Davies's autobiographical TRILOGY, the film is a series of remembrances by 15-year old David (Jacob Tierney), who reflects back on his troubled childhood while riding a train to an unknown future. As a small boy, David (Drake Bell) was a friendless outcast who watched his angry father, Frank (Denis Leary) vent the frustration of their poverty by beating his wife, Sarah (Diana Scarwid). David gets a playmate when glamorous Aunt Mae (Gena Rowlands) comes to live with them. Mae regales David with stories of her days on the stage, and provides some security in the midst of his parents' troubles. Despite Mae's influence, however, David is forced to grow up too soon, and finds himself in a shocking predicament. With his fluid, languorous camera movements, Davies guides the viewer through David's familial life and the life of the South at a particular moment, with its revival meetings and book burnings. Davies's cinemascope reverie is another compelling examination of his personal themes of youth, memory, and religion.

    The Neon Bible Review

    I decided to buy "The Neon Bible" because I was one of the extras in the film and wanted to catch myself in it. The movie was jumbled and made little sense. I have not read the book. Apparently there were things included in the book that might have shed light on several points of the movie. I had knowledge from being on set of a few of these things and the movie was still strange, jumbled, and too "artsy" for my tastes. Apparently Terence Davies was quoted as saying, "The Neon Bible' doesn't work, and that's entirely my fault. The only thing I can say is that it's a transition work. And I couldn't have done 'The House of Mirth' without it."

    Good but wishing for more

    I read this book twice; actually restarted reading it as soon as I finished it; I found it very touching and fascinated that such a young writer had such insight. I thought it would make a great, moving movie so when I found someone had made a movie I had to watch it. I think the attempt of the film to capture the poetic mood of the book overshadowed the telling of the story so much to the point that the movie would be very hard to make sense of it you had not read the book first. I would recommend to anyone who enjoyed the book just to see one interpretation of how it could be filmed. I would not recommend to anyone who is unfamiliar with the book because too much prior knowledge of the story is assumed. That being said; I'm sure I'll watch several more times because aspects of a ...
