‘Ruby in Paradise’

This 1993 release, from filmmaker Victor Nunez, is an intimate, low-key film as endearing and staunch as its heroine. A warm, perceptive depiction of everyday life, “Ruby” illuminates the inner being of a seemingly ordinary young woman in the process of creating a life for herself. It reveals the courage it takes to strike out on one’s own and take charge of one’s destiny. It marks the screen debut of Ashley Judd (pictured with Todd Field) (Bravo Sunday at 9 a.m. and 7:05 p.m.)
