If Bergman (or Haneke or Polanski) made "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," it would be like "Mother's Eyes," right? There is absolutely no adherence to the three-part thriller/horror routine, and no final reversal (or re-reversal), and as soon as the film begins, as soon as the characters stand up, they just walk straight down without looking back. There are no means to scare people, and there are no scenes that are too bloody, but they still press you down and you can't breathe from beginning to end. The sound is so good. The sound of water in the bathtub, the rustling of clothes on wooden floors, the sound of chains, the best of all, the ghostly wailing of people who can no longer speak. Better yet, more often, without any sound. If scoring, seven out of seven should be given to photography. Almost every shot is beautiful, and black and white couldn't be more perfect. I especially like the back part, the man runs out, the woman chases, late at night, two figures are far away, and some clothes drying outside the door are blown into the view by the wind, that kind of beauty and strangeness, unforgettable. . Extraordinarily loving, and exotic. It may be related to the Portuguese background of the heroine. It is also deeply admired to be able to put the most ecstatic Portuguese fado into a thriller without any sense of disobedience.
