The film"s page
De retour du service militaire, Hazel Motes rentre dans son petit village du sud profond des Etats-Unis. Il croise le chemin d’Asa Hawk, un prêcheur évangéliste prétendument aveugle dont la fille Sabbath Lily n’hésite pas à lui faire des œillades. Profondément dégouté par le cynisme des êtres qu’il rencontre, Hazel décide de prêcher à son tour pour une secte de son invention, l’Église sans Christ. Niant l’idée même du péché ou de la rédemption, le jeune désaxé se laisse gagner par un fanatisme et un sentiment d’impunité légitimant ses délires de plus en plus violents.
Note : Le Malin est une adaptation du roman La Sagesse dans le sang de l’écrivaine américaine Flannery O'Connor publié en 1952.
