Henri-Georges Clouzot, 1943, early work, banned on various occassions for various reasons
pretty theatrical general, huge amount of shot/reverse
some looming camerawork, use of pans in that have looming
few expressionist touches in the darker sets
as always, a detailed mis-en-scene
plot pushes along, drawing the viewer into complicity and curiousity
is, ultimately, a melodrama, with not much subversion of the form
watchable, but not his best
