Lmao what the fuck? Drunk 50-year-old Alain Delon does more fight sequences and stunts in this movie than he did in all of his films when he was younger. A baffling work of absurdism.
Here we are dealing with two dimensions of the man's mind:1. The disturb mind, chaos, crowding, collective spaces full of men and a woman as a subject. Delivering the comic side of the story, the absurdity of the mind, and the physicality of mise-en scene and cross-over narrative. In addition to "the other" (woman), we have a male community. Action sequences, slapstick and sex-comedy.2. The personal, lonely and isolated parts, which are some direct confrontation with "the other" (women), and the melancholic and lonely side of men's essence and being that is represented in these overwhelming gestures.
delon fits this absurd universe so well. great performance to say the least
