Ruby Gentry
King Vidor Retrospective
August 5 - 14, 2022
“Ruby Gentry was born on the wrong side of the tracks, and the people of Braddock never let her forget it.” An underrated entry in the canon of women’s revenge films, the film unfurls in rural North Carolina, where the swamp air is thick with gossip, jealousy, and sexual hunger.
“Ruby Gentry was born on the wrong side of the tracks, and the people of Braddock never let her forget it.” One of Vidor’s most underrated projects, and a worthy entry in the canon of women’s revenge films, the film unfurls in rural North Carolina, where the swamp air is thick with gossip, jealousy, and sexual hunger.
