Inspired by the literary works of William Faulkner, Akerman set out to make a film about the beauty of the American South. However, after arriving on location (in Jasper, Texas) and learning of a brutal racist murder, she changed her focus, making Sud a meditation on the history of racial violence in the United States.
Part of Chantal Akerman.
