A Matter of Morals

About This Movie

A Matter of Morals dives into the turbulent psyche of Alan Kennebeck, who struggles to grasp the weight of fleeting romance. The film's atmosphere is thick with tension, thanks in part to the shadowy presence of Eric Walderman—a villain who weaves a Nietzschean philosophy into every encounter. It’s not just the moral decline that draws you in, but the way the film explores existential dread through its lurching pace and character interactions. Performances here are raw, almost haunting, capturing the essence of moral ambiguity like few films of its time. It's like peeling back layers of a complex character, revealing the darker sides of human nature in a society that often turns a blind eye.

A Matter of Morals has had limited home media releases, making it somewhat elusive for collectors. The scarcity of quality prints adds to its intrigue, as many seek out the film for its dark thematic elements and unique character study. Interest in the film remains steady among those intrigued by early 60s dramas that grapple with moral complexities, though it doesn’t often surface at auctions or conventions.
