Two love-traingles. The
jealosy of the love-intoxicated men will lead to murder. Seems like a comedy. Everybody is
running around, chasing each other. Portrays a cynical society in a state of decomposition that
ultimately does not value human life anymore.
The renoir style: deep focus photography, long takes. Mise en scene-on location shooting,
improvised performances, occasionally: work with non-professional actors. Multpile layers of
action.
