The best part is the picture, a large number of static close-ups perfectly reproduce the city and architectural style of Vienna, and the atmosphere of the film is full of gloomy beauty; there are also a lot of perfect application of light and shadow plus close-up of characters' faces, which is very praise; the most classic is At the end of the sewer chase, the composition of the picture and the use of light and shadow are beautiful and suffocating. I don't know, it turns out that the sewers in Vienna are so beautiful...
The whole film runs through the accompaniment of the almost comical Zither, but in different atmospheres, it can set off different atmospheres such as romance, gloom, tension, etc. It is very good.
Structurally, the two funeral deja vu-style responses at the beginning and the end are interesting.
This is also not a traditional Hollywood movie, there is no happy ending, there is no beautiful woman, when the movie ends, leaving the hero alone smoking a cigarette, standing on the corner of the desolate cemetery road, I almost say this is a movie great movie.
