static (1985)


"Seeing is believing."
Mild mannered electronic's genius Ernie Blick (Keith Gordon), works in a crucifix factory. Everyone is talking about his invention, but he won't reveal what it is that he has invented. Then one day he reveals it - a television that can show heaven. Unfortunately no-one else can see what he sees, they see only static. Distraught, confused and frustrated, he seeks a way to get wider publicity for his invention.
Quirky film, full of inventiveness and with a visual flair. But mostly it has a pacing that allows us to learn about, and develop a relationship with the characters as we go. It draws you in slowly and effectively.
