Black and white, very nice

I originally thought that like other French films, this film would be a little out of tune and turn to a personal experience story; the result was unexpected - I saw a well-established suspense film. It does have a Hitchcock flavor, very good.

The director is still very patient, and in the first half of the film, it really leads me to think that killing is wrong, and that murder should only be the last retaliation in desperation, not a method that has been seriously considered from the beginning. Unscrupulous murder.

When the water in the pool was drained, I heaved a sigh of relief, still expecting a particularly wild explanation from the French director. Of course, the director didn't give a particularly weird explanation, so forget it, it's always a murder story without any flaws.

The ending can be considered imaginative: the fear that children create unintentionally is actually quite effective.
