Gotta love a movie that starts with a guy pulling off a really excellent murder plan and then immediately screwing it all up in the dumbest possible way
and that’s why you should always take the stairs
The French are so goddamn dramatic and I love every second of it.
A self-assured businessman commits a perfect murder, but a trivial mistake leads to his entrapment in an elevator and a series of unraveling events.
Louis Malle directed this 1958 film, which is widely considered a key precursor to the French New Wave.
The film was awarded the Prix Louis-Delluc in 1958.
