Strange man with his trick.

Long takes
Majority text was delivered through Voiceover, Extremely loud and annoying Organ music.
Actor stays in the same gesture between transaction cuts. Actors with exact same hair and makeup throughout the film.
A few scenes did remind me of French New Wave.
the hand held camera running towards the end of the corridor, and keeps shouting "nong, nong, It wasn't true, it wasn't by force...". and then a series of overlapping editing of the camera running into the woman with wide smile and arms open.
Contrasting, in the next scene the woman wears a black cape as to she was wearing that white further dress.
A bunch of shot inserts of the woman in her bedroom with white dress on, during the scene they were talking at the bar.
Another overlapping editing scene when the woman runs into her room and jumps into her bed, also the use of breaking of 180 degree rule.
