Movie Reviews of O Estranho Poder De Matar - The Shout
Movie Review: A classic conundrum.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my favorite movies. Based on an odd short story by Robert Graves, it tells the story a man, played by Alan Bates, who has learned from a shaman in Australia how to place his soul in a rock and to kill people by shouting. Bates is terrific and enigmatic, and the supporting cast includes Bill Hurt, Suzanna York and Tim Curry. The film is great on atmospherics and will leave you befuddled and entranced long after its over!
Summary of O Estranho Poder De Matar - The Shout
An asylum director begins telling a visitor to a cricket game the story of one of his "better" patients, Crossley (Alan Bates) who is able to compete. Some time previously, Crossley accosted Anthony (John Hurt), a composer, just after church and was for some reason invited to dinner. Once at the composer's home, he tells the story of his unusual upbringing among Australian Aborigines, and of the awful and strange gifts this has left him with. Among them is the ability to bring about another's death by using a certain kind of shout. The next morning, he begins to weave an erotic spell on the composer's wife Rachel (Susannah York), and then proves his killing ability on a sheep in a field. His influence increasingly disrupts their peaceful lives, until in a confrontation, the composer finds a way to best Crossley - but which results in his being placed in a mental institution.Similar DVD Movies
