   'Heavy Soul''s Blurbs
About me:


1959 - In a world of teenage lust and twisted morals, its hard to keep one's innocence. With a simple roll of the dice, the child becomes a predator. The saint, a sinner.

'Heavy Soul' on IMDB

The 'Heavy Soul' Flickr Gallery

"The screaming immediacy of Heavy Soul characterizes who Oren Shai will continue to be as a filmmaker... Hes got it. I dont think the 50s have ever been quite this extreme in any film and this is some trip."
Film Threat

"A Lifetime movie as directed by David Lynch, with a script by Cornell Woolrich, with a smattering of Russ Meyer and John Waters influences at the back of the palette"
