The Film Is Based On A Book: Plot
The Devil All the Time is based on a novel of the same name by American writer Donald Ray Pollock. The original edition was published in 2011 under the title The Devil All the Time by Doubleday, the German translation by Peter Torberg in 2012 at the Liebeskind bookshop. The novel is considered a representative of Country Noir.
The time span is between 1945 and 1966. As in Pollock’s debut Knockemstiff, the relationship between people and religion plays a central role in the story and belief that often takes extreme expressions.
The same applies to the role of violence and sex in the lives of the characters. Pollock’s style is naturalistic with a penchant for a drastic and detailed description of the extreme. The novel has strong autobiographical features.
Private Willard Russell returns from the war, where he has experienced disturbing excesses of violence and drives to his home village Coral Creek. On the way, he notices a waitress while eating in Meade.
In the church of Coal Creek, he witnesses the grotesque service of Roy Laferty and the paralyzed Theodore Daniels, who is sitting in a wheelchair and playing the guitar, in which Laferty ecstatically pours a glass full of spiders over his head.
The film also follows the novel almost identically. The story is essential for the period in America between the second great war and the Vietnam war. The film will be similar in story to The Master but obviously without the cult element.
All of the characters are disturbed and they will follow a character arc similar to the destructive nature of war. Crime is also a central theme of the film.
