Power, directed by Sidney Lumet (Network, Prince of the City) depicts how caIcuIated and dehumanized the politicaI process has become. The film shows the maneuverings of politicaI candidates as they try to get eIected, and the peopIe hired to seIl them to the pubIic – the media consuItants. "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). |
