Temptation of B.

About This Movie

So, 'Temptation of B.' is one of those curious little gems from 1990—a blend of drama and science fiction that whispers rather than shouts. The narrative revolves around a writer who stumbles upon this elixir of immortality, 'Mafussalin'. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it gives you that eerie, contemplative vibe. The immortals, five in total, are portrayed in a way that captures their jealousy and fear of the world changing. The practical effects are interesting, especially considering the era—nothing flashy, but they add to the film’s atmosphere. Performances, while not always top-notch, bring a certain authenticity. There's this exploration of immortality that feels both fascinating and haunting. Not a blockbuster by any means, but it has its own unique pull that’s worth considering for any collector.
