great

Rating: 8/10 (9 April 2020)

The film is characterized by the use of parallel montage techniques with two main lines at the same time. One is the investigation of the case in reality, including David's interrogation of the lame man kint in the police station, the memories and portraits of the survivors in the hospital, and the other is the "context" of what kint confessed. The most controversial is the "context" of Mr Gent's account. Some think it is all false and all made up by Mr Gent. Others think it is mostly true, except that he compiled the names.
In fact, this movie is very interesting, and we can also see the director's efforts and the actors' acting skills. The first time I watched it, I paid more attention to the development of the story and the guess of the murderer, while the second time I watched it, I appreciated the performance of the actors and the director's skills. At the beginning of the film, a vague dialogue between a suspected behind-the-scenes boss and keaton, who asks him "what time is it? Does anyone care when they die? At the end of the film, you will find that the lame kint gets his things back before he walks out of the police station. "a gold lighter and a gold watch" are both seen in the scene at the beginning of the film. What follows is a close-up of the lame man's walking leg, which becomes a good leg as he walks, and the film is almost over.
