Review of Elevator to the Gallows (1958) by Peter F — 29 Jan 2016
This is only the second Louis Malle film I've seen. The other is My Dinner With Andre, and wow does he have range - this couldn't be more different!
Beautiful B&W photography and a slightly Kafkaesque plotline. I was let down by the ending, too much denouement in what could have been a beautiful tragi-comedy of the absurd. But still a masterwork.
