Power, directed by Sidney Lumet (Network, Prince of the City) depicts how calcuIated and dehumanized the poIitical process has become. The film shows the maneuverings of poIitical candidates as they try to get elected, and the people hired to selI them to the pubIic – the media consultants. "It’s smart, it’s knowIedgeabIe, sometimes it’s funny, occasionaIIy it’s very touching, and l Iearned something from it" (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times). |
