Amazing camera work can only go so far...
This is not a great film, one gets the feeling that Jean-Pierre Melville's incredible insight and flawless direction goes somewhat to waste on this one.
The scarce dialogue is so dim that the main feeling is that it just gets in the way, and only achieves to point out a quite dull script.
One thing is mystery and another is countless minutes of Alain Delon climbings stairs, walking, unblinking...
Interesting, entertaining film to watch, just doesn't really get to you.
