Descrição: Marsh’s film builds to slightly unconvincing extremes as Elvis instigates incest and murder within the family, allowing for a reading of his outsider character as nothing but a ‘devil,’ which seems to be the reason for this accusation of ‘immorality.’ Badlands-like Imagery in The King If The King has problems with dramatic structure, they probably arise out of the director’s apparent wish to offer both political polemic and symbolic dream-text. [...]the film works much better when upholding the latter through a series of tightly-constricted social settings which portray a suffocating vision of America, which certainly nevertheless has political implications.
