"He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it" - Ecclesiastes 10:8 (Quote from the Bible)
A dive into the tormenting unconscious of Madame Florelle, an fortune teller with a dark past living a life of deception with fear lurking that she might end up dead in the hands of a prisoner. Nobody believes Florelle as her journey into the uncertainty and dreams changes things into an illusion. We find out that a man named Hector is out of prison after 10-years and there is a certain shift in emphasis as the film reveals his motives. There is an Homosexual doctor who has link to Florelle, the rest of the movie is a mix of Crime noir and It makes no sense to tell further, because a complete heresy begins in the good sense of the word. I loved the editing transition using the Crysal ball to create a grim atmosphere. I really appreciate Daniel Tinayre's screenplay so rooted in the crime noir genre as one can trace layers of excellence that comes togethers in its composition. This is my favorite film in his portfolio. I wish many will discover this classic and it needs a full restoration, the print available online is pathetic. Maybe a bluray but i really hope this film deserves better treatment.
