‘The Neon Bible’
This 1996 release is not like any other period coming-of-age-in-the-South movies you’ve ever seen. Whereas most movies set in the 1930s through the ‘50s are lyrical in style, “The Neon Bible” is elegiac, formal and sometimes boldly stylized. Gena Rowlands (pictured) is unforgettable as a fading, good-hearted nightclub singer (Cinemax Saturday at 8 p.m.).
