"Passion Fish"

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

John Sayles directed this redemptive tale of a former soap opera star (ary McDonnell) who has returned to her Louisiana home after being stuck by a New York taxi and rendered a paraplegic. Her sttitude is very bitter and she goes through a succession of caretakers until Alfrie Woodard arrives on the scene, determined to keep the job. Slowly a bond develops between the two, as a succession of local characters flow in and out of the story. The talented David Strathern plays a local bayou guide who once had a crush on McDonnell and still does. Heartwarming and gentle in tone and very well acted.
