Ricci Says Everything Is Hotter Down South

Directed by Craig Brewer, "Black Snake Moan" focuses on elderly bluesman 'Lazarus' (Samuel L. Jackson) who returns to his hometown after being abandoned by a woman he still loves.

Stirred by his despair, Lazarus comes out of retirement to play music at a local club, where he spots a young, seductive girl named 'Rae' (Christina Ricci). Much to the displeasure of her sex-addict boyfriend 'Ronnie' (Justin Timberlake), Lazarus becomes a father figure to Rae.

Having put his dark past behind him, Lazarus sees Rae as a 'wounded creature' and attempts to nurse her bruised psychological condition back to health.

From Paramount Vantage, Rated 'R'.
