The Feast of All Saints is a tale set in 1840's New Orleans about "free people of color", who formed their own class at a time when the predominant role of blacks in society was as slaves. The film focuses on the ordeal of one young man named Marcel Ste. Marie (Ri'chard), who searches for the truth about his heritage. As he finds his individual path into the future, Marcel is fully aware that he is a child of African and European descent, but his story is uniquely American. (texte officiel du distributeur)

I wouldn't say that this is one of those failed Anne Rice adaptations, which is how it is commonly judged. :) Of course, the case surrounding Interview with the Vampire and the Queen of the Damned is a complicated one, and this is once more a different case. However, I think Showtime cable television handled the subject very well. And they also gave one of the more interesting opportunities to Jennifer Beals.
