• Far ahead of its time

  Am 01. Juni 2009 von Daniel Saner geschrieben.

  This sensational little gem from 1944 will definitely surprise you. It is difficult to imagine how it might have been seen and received back in its day, but watching it from today's perspective it becomes clear that the way it tells its story, the literary techniques it employs, it might just have been about 50 or 60 years ahead of its time. Some elements might feel a little out of place or implausible, but those are mere superficialities. But at its core, I don't know any crime drama from its day that might even compare. It also seems to have inspired one particular cult movie of one particular famous director, which would not see the light of day until 57 years later. Buy this DVD, watch the film, and you will know which one I mean. It will be worth it!
