The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the struggle between spirituality and money, the winner is obvious for materialism in this director's brilliantly over-the-top film adaptation regarding the shamed TV preacher and her criminal husband. Andrew Garfield portrays the corrupt Bakker, who proclaims at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. The couple set about monetising the nation's spiritual convictions. It's a riot of bad interior design, excessive cosmetics and hypocrisy, though Jessica Chastain achieves to present Tammy Faye as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, early morning, Film4
