The black-and-white screen, with the occasional flickering of flowers, reminds me that this is an old movie.
Although the plot and suspense settings are not as thrilling as "Psycho", the small details and humor make people smile.
I actually feel that it overlaps a bit with Wes Anderson's style, especially the clips and expressions that show the villain. There's a director's perspective that's far from brutal and sees everything early.
The supporting characters are also very cute. A few shots and a few words can give the supporting characters very distinct character characteristics, such as the lovely proprietress in the hotel, and the two greasy uncles on the opposite side of the train who are talking about the underwear business.
