      French, too French

      On the second day of dark circles, French director Le Conte's "Mr. Yell". Generally speaking, the characteristics of this film type are still very obvious. In short, it is Hitchcock of the nationalization of law (four tones). There are several passages that are very similar to "Rear Window", and they are basically the same as running out and scheduling. In terms of color, contrast colors are used a lot, and it feels particularly leady. Especially the soundtrack is very magical,...

      Director said

      "Mr. Il" is an adaptation of the excellent French middle-aged director Patrice Lecomte based on the book "Mr. Il's Engagement" by the famous Belgian detective novelist George Simenon, but it is not the first of the book Movie version. In the 1940s, the famous French director Julien Duvier made the film "Fear" based on this book.

      A detective film full of black crime thriller suspense. Based on the original novel by Belgian detective novelist George Simenon. A murder case exposed the human nature and dark heart of the people involved in the case. There is also the undercurrent of loneliness and romance in Mr. Yier's heart. The film is exquisite in light and shadow, delicate and attentive, and the picture is beautiful and retro. There's a heavy Hitchcock feel to the rendering of the storyline's environments, but that's...

Yiel, an old bachelor who usually behaved strangely, became a suspect in everyone's eyes, but the real murderer was a young man named Emil. Monsieur Hire knew this fact, but he did not expose Emil, nor did he make any excuses, because he loved Emil's girlfriend Alice...

    Director Patrice Leconte did not devote himself to the era of reproducing the story at all. He erased the marks of space and time in the film, avoiding all poetic and naturalistic depictions. The director's techniques are concise and concise, giving the film a melancholy atmosphere from beginning to end. The success of the film depends to a large extent on the excellent acting skills of the two main actors Michel Blanc and Sandrine...
