    A film that took only six days to shoot. The narrative is a little clumsy, but as a film noir, it can still linger in my mind in horror." "Due to some mysterious power, fate can manipulate you and me for no...

    The 4k restored version I saw in the cinema, the photography is textbook-level, and the rest are not particularly outstanding. The protagonist is too unlucky. The lines reveal dry humor.

    3.5. If I hadn't read CC's article, I would have been completely unaware of the other side of the film's interpretation. It can be seen that I was really slow to react to the "unrealistic" part of the film (including any other similar films), and I thought it was normal. So to be honest I wasn't "shocked", just thought it was a black road movie with a lot of artistic ideas (editing, lighting, smoke, etc.). And it's another case where the story behind the movie is better than the movie itself....
