About This Movie

The Hole in the Wall is a unique woven tapestry of drama and fantasy that really stands out in the early 80s cinema landscape. Directed by David José Kohon, it threads the Faustian theme through the lens of a freelance photographer—quite the intriguing choice. The pacing feels languid at times, but it builds this surreal atmosphere, making the viewer lean into the bizarre. The disembodied voice predicting stock prices? It's a fascinating twist that digs into themes of greed and desire. The practical effects, though not overly flashy, create an immersive experience, drawing you into that mysterious room. The performances, especially from the enigmatic Mefi, add layers to the already complex narrative, capturing a certain haunting quality that lingers long after the film ends.
