Tomorrow

Screening on Film
Directed by Joseph Anthony.

US, 1972, 35mm, black & white, 102 min.

Regarded by many as the finest screen adaptation of William Faulkner's work, Tomorrow tells the tale of Jackson Fentry, a Mississippi cotton farmer, who leaves his father's farm to become a watchman at a local sawmill. One day while patrolling the grounds, Fentry discovers a woman lying unconscious on the ground, pregnant and alone. Gradually the story of an uncommon love unfolds. In its own quiet and unassuming way, this is a work of cinematic perfection deserving of rediscovery. Tomorrow features a poignant screenplay adaptation by Horton Foote and an absolutely astonishing performance by Robert Duvall as Fentry. In the words of Sheila Benson in the Los Angeles Times, "Duvall's work is one of the handful of performances in American film that deserves the word magnificent."
