Marc and Ann

Marc Savoy knows only one way to talk about Cajun music -- with the same passion and conviction as the music itself. Legendary filmmaker Les Blank delves directly into the heart of Cajun country to portray a couple devoted to the preservation of Louisiana French culture in both their personal and public lives. The joy of Cajun music, its signature yelps and wails, filter through many of the kitchens, porches, and dance halls of the Savoys' Eunice, LA, community.

Angry, funny, erotic and poetic by turns ( and sometimes all at once), it jumps from interview to confession, music video to documentary to poem. Craig Seligman, San Francisco Examiner A daring, visionary work that speaks with the eloquence of barbed wire. Steve Dollar, Atlanta Journal Constitution
