Description

In remembrance of Robert Duvall, a screening of his underseen masterpiece.

 

Written by, directed by, and starring Duvall (in an Academy Award-nominated performance), THE APOSTLE tells the story of Sonny, a gifted Southern preacher loved by his community, who, after committing a crime of passion, flees the state of Texas and winds up in a small Louisiana town. There, he changes his name to "The Apostle E.F." and opens up a new church with the help of a retired reverend (John Beasley). While battling personal demons and injecting new life into his congregation, Sonny searches for peace from his past transgressions.

 

Featuring Miranda Richardson, Billy Bob Thornton, Farrah Fawcett, and a young Walton Goggins in supporting roles.
