Arguably one of the most formidable character actors of his generation, Robert Duvall delivered his sophomore directorial effort in 1997 with The Apostle — an intense Southern Gothic thriller/drama in which he played the leading role.

Those who missed seeing the performance on the big screen — or want to see it that way again have a shot on Tuesday, Aug. 18, as part of Texas Public Radio’s Cinema Tuesdays series.

Duvall’s profoundly disturbing portrayal of a lifelong preacher who’s gone way the hell off the rails following a fatal encounter with his estranged wife’s lover earned him a nomination for Best Actor. Shot in Texas and Louisiana, the film is a poignant reminder of a monster talent that the world lost earlier this year.

$12 suggested donation, 7:30-9:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 18, Alamo Drafthouse Park North, 618 Northwest Loop 410, (210) 614-8977 x 300, tpr.org.
