Ethan Hawke directs his daughter Maya Hawke in “Wildcat,” a movie about the Southern Catholic writer Flannery O'Connor. The novelist and short story writer behind “A Good Man is Hard to Find” died early and was celebrated posthumously for her prose and sharp social satire.

Ethan too had read O’Connor early, at the urging of his mother who wanted him to read female authors in addition to Faulkner and Hemingway. They were both interested in this prickly woman who wrote about faith in a way that wasn’t proselytizing, and about race and white Christian hypocrisy as few others did. She was also talented, self-hating and dealing with this illness, which killed her father. She got her diagnosis at 24 and moved back to Milledgeville, Georgia, to live with her mother .
“It begged the question: Do we want to make a movie about somebody who said some ugly things at some point? And what would that say about us if we did? And how do you be a good anti-racist?” Ethan said. “One of the things that I came down to is that you just can’t tell a story about America in the past or the present, frankly, without touching on America’s wounds and America’s crimes and America’s sins.
And after much research and debate, together they decided to not back down from the conversation or defend her.“Wildcat” also inspired Maya’s new album, “Chaos Angel” . The title and title track came out of a scene she shared with Philip Ettinger where O’Connor is talking about how she used to wrestle with her guardian angel.
