Flannery O'Connor's "Wise Blood" Lecture (Yale University)

"Professor Amy Hungerford's first lecture on Flannery O'Connor's Wise Blood addresses questions of faith and interpretation. She uses excerpts from O'Connor's copious correspondence to introduce the critical framework of O'Connor's Catholicism, but invites us to look beyond the question of redemption. What do characters see in this text, and what are they blind to? What do we see as readers, and how does methodology shape this vision?"

Good Country People (1960's, short)

"What a strange plot twist at the end of this film. Gary Graver filmed this very early in his career as he was learning the art and craft of movie making. Shortly after making this, he was drafted in the Vietnam war, where he was assigned to the Combat Camera Group of the U.S. Navy. Then it was back to Hollywood where he started making full length features."
