Archangel
Blue Vista Flats, 1933. A small Midwestern community in the grip of the Great Depression. Young Buck Walker witnesses the brutal murder of a hapless vagrant.
Into town limps a broken-down Model A Ford, whose strange cargo consists of an other-worldly Mrs. Moon, her blithely sensual daughter, and her magically retarded son. With their arrival, the dusty, workaday life of Blue Vista Flats is transformed: death becomes animate, love becomes lust, evil becomes energized, time becomes suspended in a whirling danse macabre.
Under a treacherous moon-- and to the discordant shriekings of a screech owl-- Keith Korman allows his melodrama to play itself out. In the process, Buck Walker learns a little about love, a lot about life. He becomes a man.
