Power Of Evil

About This Movie

So, 'Power Of Evil' from 1985 is this intriguing mix of drama and mystery that really captures a certain heavy atmosphere, you know? The pacing can feel a bit off at times, but it kind of adds to the uncertainty of the narrative. The performances are quite striking, especially the lead's interactions with the arms dealer's wife - there’s a real tension there. She’s cynical and layered, which makes you question everything. It’s not your typical student-intrigued-by-adult-life story; there's a darker undertone. And while the direction is credited as unknown, the practical effects and set designs do manage to evoke that gritty realism that fits the themes of capitalism and disillusionment. It’s really something to sit with and think about.
