Reviews (1)
A very captivating film, which goes a bit against the mainstream right from the beginning, for example only with those peculiar subtitles, and also with the implied nudity under the woman's cloak that appears here. But it continues further, until the grand finale, when someone finally opens that box. It is a noir film, but at the same time, it is also a fantastical film. It is a harsh film and extremely cruel for its time, which is very refreshing.
