Reality and reality have no boundaries, beating right
The director is really clever!
I can't laugh or cry, but my attention has been held tightly by the plot.
There are only a few characters, but there is such a wonderful, ups and downs plot, there are always many possible branches after each event, but the director has always used his humor and seriousness to lead us to choose the most difficult mountain path to be discovered.
Seeing the rude handling of the case by the French police and the media, I thought the director...

The impression of Louis Mahler stays in "Seriously Wounded in Love", stays in the extremely fierce character, and the resulting fatalistic tragic meaning. As his feature film debut, this film is known as the forerunner of the French New Wave. It uses black and white images to interpret a story that is not very literary and even with some suspenseful and tense Hollywood crime style. The film does not portray the characters as delicately as in ordinary literary films. Instead, it pays attention...

Elevator viewing notes leading to the gallows
The story/script is very good, the first half is cut, the second half is single-line narrative, the narrative is compact and smooth, and it has the characteristics of both crime and literary romance: the highly stylized lighting in the interrogation room makes Namoro alone a little neurotic Wandering at midnight; special sound effects (explosions) are inserted to express the character's psychology/suggesting plot; the audience’s omniscience and cognitive range, the suspense is magnified; the...

First of all, the title of the movie makes the urge to watch it. The elevator can lead to the death penalty table. What kind of elevator will this be? The characters in the movie are also very unique. The male lead is not a righteous person. He used his skills during the paratrooper period to kill the female lead's husband (referring to the plot of David in the Bible?) and forge it in order to stay with the lover forever. The scene of the suicide. But because of an oversight, he had to...

Louis Mahler: 25-year-old ladder
"The Elevator to the Gallows" was filmed in 1957. It is the first feature film independently directed by French director Louis Mahler. Louis Mahler is regarded as one of the masters of the French New Wave, and the film is also considered by posterity to be a subsequent rise. One of the first films of French New Wave films, and Mahler was less than 25 years old at the time. The documentary "A Quiet World" that Mahler participated in the previous year won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes...

The blues of Jeanne Moreau and Mile Davies, wandering alone, tell me that this love reveals melancholy...

Overall, it's not as good as expected, and some of the transitions are not very convincing. The narration is still different from Hollywood type films, and there is an indescribable European literary atmosphere. As far as I am concerned, I still prefer the black taste of American Hollywood...

Genius debut. The perfect layout of suspense and the smooth spread of the story are completely free from the common sense of complexity in the new wave. The integration of the narrative of drama and stream of consciousness makes the sense of guilt extremely ambiguous. The hasty ending can't stop the viewer from looking up to this divine...

The "love movie" where the hero and heroine never appeared in the same picture, the kind of affection that filled the air through a photo through the telephone receiver made me almost forget that this is also a film...

8.4 Even if you don't get caught up in the close-up shots aimed at Jeanne Moreau, you end up melting into Miles Davis' tender jazz score. 9/10/2016 2K remastered version screening, the narrative design is so delicate, the protagonist's doomed fate, if not from his own crimes, but also from the sins of others, the three narrative lines of the male protagonist, the female protagonist and the young couple Concatenated and finished perfectly with one roll of...
Julien Tavernier: Don't sneer at war. It's your bread and butter. Indochina netted you how much? And now Algeria. Have some respect for war. It's your family heirloom.
Le commissaire Cherrier: You see madam there are always several photos in a camera.
Commissaire de police: Anything's good for an alibi. Wives, girlfriends, bartenders, childhood friends, deceived husbands - but not an elevator. That's ridiculous. It's totally harebrained.
