    The cruel reality needs black embellishment. How can there be so many good people in the world who live to the...

    It's not old. The Gabriel-style social problem drama is embellished with a little humor and absurdity. The workplace ecology is pointed out by the dialogue of the victims, and the family relationship that is about to be broken is unexpectedly obtained because of collective criminal behavior. Solid, absurd and ridiculous. The ending is very good, and the final freeze frame is full of master...

    Extremely cold noir films are still dramatic amplifications of life, family, anxiety and brain activities. The shifting of emotions and rhythms makes the film highly entertaining, but it loses its depth due to the overly straightforward image...

    Hahaha, I never thought that Gavras actually made a "botched" black comedy! Clumsy tricks and absurd plots, but packaged in an extremely professional stylized style, and finally escaped the sanctions bizarrely. This is really black and advanced. The loop at the end is a wonderful finishing touch. The...

    3.5. Unemployment black comedy, healing laughter is a little lost (because of hyper-reality). The small inner theater, the imaginary pictures of flashing, and the sense of funny sudden ladders with frequent small movements, form a kind of "blocking"...

    Even commercial films can incorporate their own political concepts into them, and they have a strong accusatory nature, but they are relatively straightforward and not particularly clever. Moreover, the genre film routine is also more obvious, and I don't really like this kind of film that completely leads me by the...

    A different France

    I don't want to talk about the storyline anymore, because it's not the strong point of this movie. What impressed me was that the film reflected a France that we, especially French art film audiences, were not familiar with.

    This country:

    also has its suburbia, or urban sprawl (Suburbia, or urban...
