SALVATION!
a.k.a. SALVATION! HAVE YOU SAID YOUR PRAYERS TODAY?
Laid-off factory worker Jerome Stample (Viggo Mortensen) enlists the aid of his sister-in-law (Dominique Davalos) to abduct and blackmail a sex-obsessed TV minister (Stephen McHattie). But when Rev. Randall meets Jerome’s true-believer wife, Rhonda (Exene Cervenka of the punk band X), he realizes she is an evangelical rock star in the making. A prophetic satire by Beth B (TWO SMALL BODIES), SALVATION! was produced just before the foundations of American religion were shaken by the scandals of real-life televangelists Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swaggart. Released during the MTV explosion, the film is bathed in a glossy ‘80s aesthetic, backed with songs by New Order and Cabaret Voltaire and laced with the razor-sharp social commentary that made Beth B one of the most provocative voices of a generation.
