There are too many places where the plot is illogical.
In terms of casting, the male protagonist has a wretched face and disgusting behavior.
In terms of performance, the stage sense and the sense of the times are too strong. Compared with the performances in European and American films of the same period, it is really far behind.
The music composition failed to leave a deep memory, but the richness of the orchestration was not bad for the seventies.
In terms of character modeling, it is too staged and ugly.
All in all, this film is no longer suitable for public appreciation in the 21st century. But it's still a movie for academic researchers and old-fashioned fans alike.
