    The flashback of the first body is used well, and the camera lens also helps the audience to integrate into the protagonist's...

    The performance is a little exaggerated, Roger's Top 100 recommendation. After lying down and being coerced, I realized that it was better to surrender early in the morning. There are shadows of fatalism in early silent films. Plus, the protagonist is a lot like Marlon Brando. ps, the subtitles are very...

    Three-and-a-half stars. Not great, but irrelevant. What's more interesting is that by the end of the film, both the male lead and the audience "have to" doubt the authenticity of a narrative (perhaps heavily dependent on the chattering...

    This woman with deep resentment is probably the most powerful in the noir movies I've ever seen, so it seems that the male protagonist is extremely...

    7.8 Watching this film reminds me of the self-built level of the 8-bit machine "Tank" game that I love to play.
