The recent attention to author Toni Morrison in the recent biographical
film, reminds many of the 1998 horror film “Beloved”, directed by Jonathan
Demme (Touchstone Pictures).
Oprah Winfrey plays a former slave after the Civil War, living
near Cincinnati, terrorized by the poltergeist of the child (she believes) whom
she had killed years before to prevent the child from going into slavery. Paul D. (Danny Glover) drives away the spirit
from the plantation.
I vaguely recall this film at the Mall of America near
Minneapolis in the fall of 1998.
