Body and Soul
Drama
A convict escapes to a Southern town and passes himself off as a reverend, giving him the perfect cover to swindle the townspeople and corrupt an innocent young woman.
VIBE
A chilling descent into moral decay, this silent masterpiece uses stark visuals and oppressive atmosphere to expose the rot beneath a pious surface. It's a grim, unflinching look at temptation and ruin.
