Talent in a suspenseful story

Louis Mahler's debut work, there is no trace of youthfulness at all. The story base of the suspense style, but essentially a poetic story about a woman who blooms for love-the thirty-year-old Miss Moreau.

The face is just right slack, youth is no longer, beauty has not disappeared, and the charm has been manifested. Eye bags, drooping lips, a slightly square face...all the imperfections are put together into a face for close-ups. Looking at the camera, "Julian" and Ajani's "Thousands of Waters and Mountains, come to meet you, only I can do it" is a bit similar, stubborn, love without right and wrong.

A beautiful woman is the psychological entrance of a movie. You can see all her feelings in her eyes. You worry about her lover who is trapped in the elevator... Very good, you have followed the line drawn by Louis Gone, the prioritized soundtrack makes you feel anxious.

The story is a two-line advancement of a murder and an impulse case, from the intersection of not locking the car, to being locked into the elevator out of control, to the verdict of the photos found, the drama, the sense of absurdity, a very ingenious story, telling Us: Careless can die very miserably!

I'm cold.

    It turns out that "A Fish Called Wanda", "Blood Labyrinth" and "Two Smoking Guns" have earlier predecessors. This film needs no comment, just watch it several times.
