A retro suspenseful film that can capture the serial murders in Paris in the 1950s with such a accent and proper rhythm, it is eye-catching. The whole film is very decent and elegant. At the beginning of the film, the prelude to the female voice has opened the curtain of the whole case appropriately.
There is a strong British accent in the French story, and there is no sense of disobedience. The costumes, sets and even the interpretation of each actor are just right, without any extravagance. No bluntness, no twists and turns, and victory over too many shoddy fabrications under the banner of "suspense drama".
Limited by the background of the original work and the case, the plot is quite simple. A chain of clueless cases, a belated police, and the detective Maigret calmly took advantage of the criminal's vanity, step by step, step by step, and finally solved the case in one fell swoop. Mr. Bean's role in the film is also a highlight of the play. He is thoughtful and rigorous. He is overjoyed by the carelessness of the case and the determination of the suspect's persistence.
When the suspect walked out of the bedroom pretending to be confused and exposed to Maigret's line of sight, he was doomed to escape the law. The purpose of committing the crime is simple, but Li Zhinian is deeply dominated and controlled by his mother and wife. When the long-term depression was unable to reflect self-worth in the ordinary world, he chose the road of extreme killing. Towards the end, when the criminal yelled "because I hate you" hysterically at his mother and wife through the prison net, the three of them cried and sighed.
The ending song echoes the opening song, as always. Maigret walked on the streets of Paris, with a kind of clarity as if it had rained, and it was good.
