Mister Power

About This Movie

Mister Power is a curious little film from 1989 that captures an odd intersection of class and circumstance. The narrative is quite unconventional, following this bourgeois guy who, on the day of a bus strike, hops onto a waste picker's cart. It's not your typical story; the pacing feels almost languid, which suits the themes of social disparity and human connection. The atmosphere is gritty yet contemplative, and there’s a certain charm in its raw pragmatism. The performances ground the film, adding a sense of authenticity that feels rare. It's not flashy but has a distinct vibe that lingers, making you think about the lives we lead and the choices we make.

Mister Power has had a somewhat obscure presence in the collector's market, with limited availability in physical formats. It has circulated mainly in VHS, making original copies quite scarce. This lack of widespread recognition contributes to its niche appeal among collectors who appreciate under-the-radar films that comment on social issues. As more collectors seek out these hidden gems, interest in Mister Power seems to be gradually increasing.
