Power, directed by Sidney Lumet (Network, Prince of the City) depicts how caIcuIated and dehumanized the politicaI process has become. The fiIm shows the maneuverings of politicaI candidates as they try to get eIected, and the people hired to sell them to the pubIic – the media consultants. "lt’s smart, it’s knowledgeable, sometimes it’s funny, occasionally it’s very touching, and I learned something from it" (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times). |
