    Galoup, a man with a scarred face, made his bed with military rigour, lay down, and clutched a gun. A pulse beat in the veins of his biceps. Later, we hear Corona's disco hit "Rhythm of the Night", and the camera cuts to the nightclub throughout the film - Galoup is alone, dressed in black, smoking against the mirror, head dangling to the music, cigarette in the air Draw the curve of the beat. He turned in a circle, donned the cloak of smoke, and began to dance. Suddenly, with precision and indulgence, he flew into the air, landing with his fingers open like a gecko in the dark. He rolls frantically until he rolls out of the camera. We are so sad because the plot and meaning manifest themselves in the body of movement. The glory of the military, the legacy of colonization, and the flames of jealousy in the first 90 minutes are finally twisted into ignited threads, spreading to unseen destruction. His dance is his death. Revisiting the greatest ending in film history is the Deney retrospective in New York before the new crown. The audience clapped, shouted, and cried frantically, as if conjuring spirits.
