With extremely limited characters, two men and one woman are trapped in a relatively monotonous space, and the meaning of claustrophobia slowly seeps out, resulting in dramatic conflict and tension. It's just that there are obviously too many comedy elements in this film, and many of them have a sense of nonsense, such as the guest party scene, which makes the tone of the whole film constantly changing, although the whole story is shrouded in an unusually dark scene, Even almost a virtual stage.
What I have to mention is the bizarre soundtrack in the film. I have never heard jazz in this style before. It's a bit spooky and funny, and it goes well with those absurd scenes.
The moral of the film is elusive, I guess it is related to the background or social environment at the time (?), or is it just the director's whim? In any case, this heterochromatic work has fully revealed the fierce style and extraordinary artistic pursuit of the film master.
