Walhalla

About This Movie

So, 'Walhalla' from '95—it's this gritty thriller that really dives into the murky waters of competition and desperation. You’ve got De Feyter, this grocer who’s really feeling the squeeze from Saïd’s supermarket. It’s not just about business; there’s a lot of moral decay as he gets mixed up with some shady politics. The pacing keeps you on edge, and there's this constant tension that permeates the atmosphere, almost suffocating at times. The performances are raw; you can really feel the characters' struggles. And the practical effects—they lend an authenticity that heightens the dire situation. It's distinctive for its unflinching look at societal breakdown and the lengths people go to survive. Quite the layered piece, I'd say.
