Absolutely Fantastic
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Quadroon appears to be a vanity project from New Orleans. The acting is strictly dinner theatre variety, except for Larry Buchanan veteran Bill McGhee as Jacques and the production values are extremely low. There are also some excruciatingly bad Creole 'accents' on display, most notably by George Lupo as the depraved villain Dupree. Nonetheless there is something charming and honest about this film, which manages to avoid the voyeuristic excesses of later big budget bloaters like Drum and Mandingo. Sarah Riggs script is reasonably well written and perceptive. For anyone interested in that long gone sub-genre of cinema, the regional film, this is a must see. Sorta like a Herschell Gordon Lewis film, without the gore.
