"Le monde est à vous."

essentially an hour and a half session of cinematic russian roulette where every scene building up in tension is equal to another bullet you have to add to the chamber. its beauty is only rivaled by its tearful ferocity towards the horrors of marginalization. only french cinema can deliver this kind of ass kicking.

the way this film builds so much tension in how it forces us to watch time tick away, causing us to say to ourselves “so far, so good. so far, so good”. until the ending hits with a thud. because it’s all about the fall. and because we all know & live the story – the way it circles back & always stays relevant, the falling never ends.

Amazing, it’s so lean and it still totally works. Bronson Pinchot is incredible in this. What a feat, really glad I got to see it.
