The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the struggle between faith and wealth, the winner is obvious for materialism in this director's wonderfully garish film adaptation of the disgraced TV preacher plus her lawbreaking partner. The actor portrays the greedy Jim, who proclaims at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye set about capitalizing on the American public's religious faith. It's a riot of tacky decor, bad makeup and insincerity, though Jessica Chastain achieves to present the character in a likable light. Tuesday 14 October, early morning, Film4
