    The dialogue shots of the male and female protagonists: frequent and neat front and back fights, deliberate close-ups, and the saintly-like light on the heroine's face, now it seems a bit outdated. But the performance of the small town of Kasbah, relying on the city's characteristics of aerial shots and interior shots, including the confused atmosphere of various people, is still very...

    It's very romantic that the French can't understand. The author of the book wants to make Bei Bei a suave villain hero, but it seems that it is still not in place today. There is no problem with the coherence of the story, it is told more rigorously, and the psychological explanation of Beibei's desire to return to the big city is also comprehensive (from internal to external stimulation), but the rhythm is too slow and lacks ups and downs, which seems to be the case of many French movies....

    It's not a story that takes place in Algiers, it's a story that takes place in the studio, and it doesn't make sense to set it in Algiers because the movie doesn't seem to play that setting. A fugitive got into an alley, and at first he was happy and alone, until he never left the alley again. The highlight of this film may be the song played by the fat woman, crying while...

    A tragic ending tale of a hero's end. Although the protagonist is given romantic feelings (there is no need to explain the character background, motives, psychological transformation, etc. to the audience, just blindly pretend to be handsome), but in the case where politics must be correct, the villain will not end well in the...

    [Film Review] Pépé le Moko (1937) 7.9/10

    Pépé le Moko (Cabin) becomes the kingpin of the Arabic-speaking Casbah area in Algiers, but he is French, a jewel thief wanted by the continent police department, but due to the maze-like topography of the locality, the inane offshore gendarmerie cannot arrest him in situ, the sole way to nick him...
