What is Black Snake Moan about?

A God-fearing bluesman takes to a wild young woman who, as a victim of childhood sexual abuse, is looking everywhere for love, but never quite finding it.

Black Snake Moan is a 2006 American Southern Gothic black comedy drama film written and directed by Craig Brewer. The film stars Christina Ricci, Samuel L. Jackson, and Justin Timberlake. Its plot focuses on a Tennessee farmer and bluesman who holds a troubled local woman captive in his farmhouse in an attempt to cure her of nymphomania after finding her severely beaten on the side of a road. The title of the film derives from the 1927 Blind Lemon Jefferson song. The film draws numerous references to the Mississippi Blues movement, particularly in its title and soundtrack. The film was shot in and around the city of Memphis, Tennessee.
