Around film

Last work of Sam Peckinpah, it appears enough langienne in the form. Screen, handling, diversion of photographs and films, mirrors are in the center of film. So much so that at the time of the exit of film a journalist of Télérama brought the character of Fassett closer to famous the Doctor Mabuse. The film is placed in any case on the ground of the handling of the sounds and the images to make them take a direction which is not theirs. Assembly to some extent. Perhaps is this there shape of will of the scenario writer whose works were often altered with the assembly by the producers. In filigree, the topics of the work of Peckinpah are there also in particular that of the good use of the force which degenerates quickly into unconscious violence, stripped of direction.
