    The camera lens is attached to Morrow's face like a magnet. Although it is wonderful, it is also unintentional. This kind of wonderful and deliberateness is also very consistent with the whole story structure. No wonder it's a debut novel, the feeling of wanting to hold back a big move is too...

    8.3/10. ①The wife colluded with her lover to murder her husband.

    This film is the feature film debut of the left bank veteran Louis Mahler, which won the Louis De Luc Award in 1957, starring Jeanne Moreau.

    One is divided into three, three are combined into one. Thought it was a spy film, thought it was a comedy, thought it was a bittersweet film, thought it. . . . There is no escape from the word...

    Hahaha, the French are too good at making up stories. The elevator of dominoes has become a woman's love epic with the amazing bearing of Jeanne Moreau. Yes, it is not about who you love, but about the person in love. , confirming yourself. Elevator paratroopers, ignorant and blind lovers, and Jeanne Moreau, who is so unsure of whether she is loved but still like a lioness who walks alone in the night and streets of Paris. The imagery of collage actually transcends the times and illuminates you...

    Filmed along the lines of film noir, the simple and direct audio-visual style of Louis Miller's virgin role is supplemented by Hitchcock-style suspense, so that the hero and heroine never meet. The elevator of the male protagonist previews his future prison. The main character is lost in the streets of Paris, and the latter's psychological drama has greatly changed the style of the genre.

    I don't like to watch such crime movies, or I don't like to literaryize crime movies. The plot is too slow and I fall asleep. . . . But this was Louie's debut, and he was in his twenties at the...

    A film with empty content, dull characters, unclear motives, and licentiousness in the name of poetry. Please don't hold a stinky foot and say it's beautiful legs, please...
