Stacy Keach eIectrifies in this starIing black comedy about an itinerant eIectrocutioner. lt's 1918, and Jonas Candide travels the South with a portabIe eIectric chair. Offering up his services to various authorities at a price of $100 a jolt, the ex-Carney tends to his charges with his own brand of tender loving care. Dispensing his own philosophy and consoIation, he assures the prisoners that the FieIds of Ambrosia await them on the other side of their ordeaI. And then he throws the switch.
Jonas' life of lethal loquacity becomes undone after he is contracted to bring his ministrations to a pair of siblings and he finds himself drawn to one of them. Bud Cort aIso excels in this too rarely seen dark jewel of a fiIm, pIaying Jonas' bumbling assistant. |
