    The foundation stone of the French Neo-Baroque style. The story is too freehand. The postman connects opera stars, pirates, drug dealers, and black police, but does not clarify the relationship; police and bandits, romantic literature and art, expressionism, and mixed styles. But the authentic chase scene in Paris is really exciting, and the reversal rhythm of several protagonists is just right. Another postman is a fan of being friends or even lovers in front of opera stars, but she doesn't...

    I like the narrative style of the movie, but I don't like the account and setting of the characters. Each character has almost no history, mostly just a symbol. The arrangement of the plot also looks very cliché now, and there are some details that are more...

    To give a four-star, in my heart, it is actually a five-star existence, and the action scenes are all designed to be exquisite and thrilling. Photography makes extensive use of reflections such as glass mirrors. The director has been implementing his favorite red and blue, just like the wild roses of Paris. The soundtrack of the opera is...

    A classic work of deified literary youth. The composition is like a textbook, the rhythm is slow but the plot is clear, but the characterization is a bit too abrupt. The whole film seems to have only two bgm songs, but they are all quite...

    The last of the 100 must-see films for film school undergraduates has finally been found. The picture and opera are very good, not as good as the director's other film "Wild Rose of Paris", it's too scattered, like two completely unrelated things are forcibly put...

    One of my film enlightenment works

    What exactly is the "New Baroque" style? I've never been able to figure it out, and it's probably just a rhetoric that lazy film critics use to sum up the aesthetic style of French cinema that flourished in the early 1980s. In fact, in the early 1980s, there were indeed three directors with unique...

    The pioneering work of the author's film in the 1980s

    This film is one of the most famous works of the famous French director Benex, and one of the most famous French films of the 1980s.

    Benex tells a thrilling story in a slightly black tone, but the film has broken away from the genre mode of traditional gangster thrillers and entered a new style of...
