The Living Force
A 1950s housewife living with her husband in a utopian experimental community begins to worry that his glamorous company could be hiding disturbing secrets.
This is a very peculiar movie.
It plays in a strangely perfect suburban 1950s US style of environment near the desert. Everything is absolutely picture perfect, and so are the people in it. But something... vaguely... seem to be off - without you can't pinpoint it at first. Through strange sounds and stylish scenes, the script is pointing towards a reality which perhaps isn't quite as perfect and real as it is shown and experienced by the players.
It is a low key, slow moving kind of movie, but i felt that was really fascinating evolving - because the story wasn't given away - at least not until the end. Before you know what is what, you get this uncomfortable feeling turning gradually into something seriously disturbing. A rather iffy feeling spreading in the stomach, to say the least.
1950s style meets MK Ultra and Transhumanism wrapped in a luxury chocolate box with a cherry on top.
The movie is no classic action movie per se - which means, the fast clips in the preview trailer are a bit misleading. In fact, the slowness is what makes it perfect aligned to the overall rising weirdness building up.
