General Notes |
A murder and a rape are commited by a crazy thug. The movie, thru flashbacks and narrative portrays the three radically different stories of the witnesses. The film is black and white and has remarkable compositional and textural and lighting qualities.
Objectivity is a myth -- everyone sees a different reality, a different "story".
The world is terrible and full of disasters and mankind is awful and pathetic.
