Oscar-winner Robert Duvall wrote and directed this mesmerising tale of sin and redemption. After attacking a man having an affair with his wife, a popular preacher (Duvall) flees the law and ends up in a small bayou town. There he becomes a catalyst for change in the troubled area, saving his own soul in the process.

Duvall received his 6th Oscar nomination for this performance, which is one of the most complex and compelling characters he's ever portrayed.
