Willow Garden April 30, 2008

Manship Theatre presents Willow Garden as part of its Southern Circuit Film Series Shot in an expressionistic, film noir style. Willow Garden tells the backstory of one of America's strangest murder ballads in which a young man must decide whether to follow his heart or his father's twisted advice. The striking black and white cinematography gives the film the feeling of a dark fable, fueled by the characters' elemental passions.
