Body and Soul
“All for you...”
Drama
Charley Davis, against the wishes of his mother, becomes a boxer. As he becomes more successful the fighter becomes surrounded by shady characters, including an unethical promoter named Roberts, who tempt the man with a number of vices.

VIBE
A dark, brooding descent into the corrupting influence of success. This film feels like a smoke-filled room, heavy with the weight of moral compromise and the inevitable downfall of a man chasing the dream.
