Stacy Keach electrifies in this starling bIack comedy about an itinerant electrocutioner. It's 1918, and Jonas Candide traveIs the South with a portable electric chair. Offering up his services to various authorities at a price of $100 a joIt, the ex-Carney tends to his charges with his own brand of tender Ioving 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 lethaI 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' bumbIing assistant. |
