Viewing Notes

A very, very interesting giallo homage that has me still thinking about it over 24 hours later. About 2 pages of dialogue total (and that’s being generous) in the whole film, but it’s not even missed. The story is told through insane visuals and enhanced sound. I love incidental sounds, like people walking, or leather jackets creaking, and this film is set just for me. I cranked up the sound and was overjoyed. The last act - brilliance!
