Under the Volcano is a good and sometimes very good movie adaption of the novel written by Malcom Lowry. I read the novel a few times and whereas the movie is a well made one about a man's descent in his own private hell, the real poetic power of the book only shines here and there in the movie: the movie is good, but the book is a masterpiece. But like the book, the movie is for sure not made for everyone. Anyway, if the synopsis sounds interesting to you, and you want to take part on a dark journey, this movie is waiting for you. Last but not least, the cast does well.
