Black classic

This is of course a black classic of Louis Mahler. I have already engraved the CDR in the VCD era. I have also heard the soundtrack of the movie by miles davis, but I have forgotten to look it out? The version I’m watching tonight is the first episode of the Louis Mahler suit launched in the Nikkei District, which was just released. It contains 4 early business cards from Louis Mahler, including Shaki of the
Subway. "The Elevator to the Gallows", "Curiosity", "Black Moon"
watched "Curiosity" yesterday. Is this the most daring movie played by Louis Mahler in terms of ethics? He is very good at doing this, such as the inevitable "Love Severe Injury".
"The Elevator to the Gallows" gives me the feeling very similar to Antonioni's "Eclipse". It is also based on the fantasies that the dark night gives the film poet. Antonioni's "Eclipse" is empty and lonely. Someone has counted more than 161. There is no one in the camera, "the reality has no boundaries", it is one of my favorite works for the elderly.
With the same loneliness, Jean Moreau looks for her love in the empty streets of Louis Mahler at night. Her love is absurdly imprisoned on the "elevator to the gallows", but she is facing an imaginary betrayal. I always thought the title of this film was an abstract symbol, but in fact it was concrete and subtle, so black and dramatic. The soundtrack of Miles Davis was like a glass of diluted poison, prepared for sinners, and then drunk. Exhausted.

    8.3/10. ①The wife colluded with her lover to murder her husband. This was supposed to be a murder case that left no trace, but due to the accident on the day of the crime, both of them were eventually arrested and imprisoned. ②Noir cinematography (composition/low-key lighting) is of high level, with strong audio-visual narrative (rather than line narrative) ability, excellent soundtrack, precise and skilled mirror movement, and tight narrative rhythm. ③The facial paralysis performance of the characters is to create a cold and cool temperament (perhaps there is also the tense atmosphere of "Death Row Prison Break"), and it has indeed achieved partial success, but since this film is a traditional feature film, it means that the characters The image would be uninteresting (with the possible exception of Jeanne Moro), and the drama would be greatly diminished. ④The photo evidence that appears inexplicably at the end is rather absurd and deliberate.

    75/365days. The two previously publicized murders were both characterized in the development of the film. Although it is the debut work, the forgetting of the key clues (still hooked on the rope on the balcony) is simply too low-level mistake. It was possible to go on a more cruel or absurd road by coincidence, but the solution of the case was handed over to the director with an omniscient perspective. Only Jeanne Moreau, who is left alone wandering the streets of Paris at night, deserves credit.

Elevator to the Gallows quotes

  • Florence Carala: [inner voice] I lost you in the night, Julien. I should have left you alone. I shouldn't have kissed you or caressed your face.

  • Christian Subervie: You can't rely on that Julien. We met in Algiers.

    Florence Carala: You were an officer?

    Christian Subervie: Ah, no. I was in the refrigerator business. He must be with a broad. He's neglected all his pals.
