The Felons

About This Movie

The Felons, directed by an unknown hand, is a raw slice of life that captures the dark essence of political turmoil. Mario Selič gives a haunting performance as Peter Berdon, whose journey into Stalinism is both gripping and tragic. The film's pacing is deliberate, allowing for an immersive exploration of Peter's past through flashbacks that interweave his incarceration with the brutal realities of a world torn apart by war. Its tone is consistently bleak, a reflection of the oppressive atmosphere he faces, both inside and outside prison walls. The practical effects and the grim settings contribute to a sense of realism that makes the viewer feel each moment of despair. It's this somber authenticity that really sets it apart from typical political dramas.
