I am new to your site and I LOVE it! Thanx to the nice fellow, who told me about it, and THANX A MILLION to you for putting up those great – mostly forgotten and in most cases unjustified – works of cinema art, so they can live on and be enjoyed by cinephiles!

This was just my fourth movie on your site and I liked them all! Dozens will follow. I already know that now. And I’ve seen so many titles here, which I have not been aware at all! Also so many hard-to-find Japanese, which are almost all the time sans subtitles, but here they are with subs! πŸ‘

This is a TREASURE DROVE and I am like a kid in a room full of toys! πŸ™‚

Thanx so much!

I’ll go on commenting as time goes by. I am not as gifted with words as others are, but I love leaving my few cents here and there.

Cheers,
Wolfgang

I fell asleep 3 times and needed two evenings watching it. No chance you will watch this in one take, if you are already tired when starting. But even if you are not, you will get tired. And you will fall asleep. Guaranteed.

But don’t get me wrong, this is not a bad movie. This is not a great movie either. It’s an interesting movie about loss and depression. It’s well shot in stark b/w, which I love and I do not regret having watched it. I rate it 7/10 and if you wanna fall asleep in a nice way, get started.

Filmed at gunpoint in Lana Turner’s garage. The password is “milk.”

Thank you, Chuck, I removed those first few words from the synopsis just now. It’s impossible for me to watch every movie I upload and try to correct or make a synopsis myself so I just go with what I can find online, sadly with movies so rare not always you find an accurate description of the film/s so thanks for correcting it.

I love this movie. Saw it at a French Noir festival in San Francisco a few years ago and the audience went nuts for it. Total crowd pleaser! Not slow and murky at all!

Amazing film!
