This is cinema. Still holds today. The longevity. If the new generation finds it today they will love it so much. My first film from Robert Bresson and it didnot dissapoint. Isee it as the metaphor to the societal fallout even though we seem to be going on and about just fine, but our society is woven on so small threads that it doesnot take a person to collapse. And collapse of one person is collapse of society. We find lot of temporary solutions and trying to find the thing we want, but when the disgust leaves, the fall is imminent. Loved the film. Perhaps the darker ending makes it better. He finally gets liberated at the end. That is something many people will not consider. While each and every character is still chained to the politics, religion and everything in between. Loved it. Only recommend this to my film mutuals.

Wow. Loved it. This film is so so good. You remember it for a lot of things. You will like the character in the film. Who doesnot know why we are here, and slowly and slowly it creeps up and catches up to you. But then the strung if twists happen. And each leads you to the unexpected. Which makes this film so much better. It takes a dark-comedic take on mistakes, redemption, loyalty, honor, principles. The chemistry between the main leads is so wonderful which makes it a good film. In the backdrop it is like a father-son relation while on the face value it is the story of two hitmen. These things remain in popular culture for a long time and it has still proven to remain in conversation. Loved every dark twisting moment of this film. It keeps you on your toes.

After watching this, I know why people relate to this film a lot. It is like every person trying to find their own path in the life. The pitfalls, the broke life, and not knowing where we are headed. The moment when we are figuring ourselves out. It can make us or break us. But there is hope, just keep persisting. It is that sweet-sour point in our life that is where the film is based on. The dumb things we do, the friendships we torn apart, the stepbacks we take, bad decisions and ruining the best things in our life (temporarily)... to getting to the point where actually you are a grown-up, behaving responsibly, taking care of yourself, loving the people around you, making rational decisions and mending the torn relations. This is life. It will be good to you. Just be kind.

This is to all the freindships/relations we tore and couldnot mend up and to all that we did mend up. Thus is to growing up.
