Body and Soul
Drama
A minister is malevolent and sinister behind his righteous facade. He consorts with, and later extorts from, the owner of a gambling house, and betrays an honest girl, eventually driving them both to ruin.
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.
