This Dramatic Portrait
In the struggle between spirituality and money, it's a knockout win for Mammon in Michael Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top biopic regarding the shamed televangelist and her criminal husband. The actor portrays the corrupt Bakker, who proclaims initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye begin capitalizing on the American public's spiritual convictions. It's a spectacle of poor styling, overdone appearance and bad faith, though Jessica Chastain manages to depict the real-life figure as a sympathetic figure. Tuesday 14 October, late night, the Film4 channel
