Undoubtfully, cinematography has been my passion since a very young age. Even now, watching a new movie or series always prompts me to ask a lot of questions to the author. Thus, every little essay about a title is definitely not a spoiler, but rather an attempt to explore the idea.

Mann manages to convert high-tech to high art, and that this film will be remembered after seventy years, as now, let's say, Dreyer's movies, as a major illustration of the key role of Mann in the world of cinema. And this is not only the matter of the form. Yes, Mann filmed first digital retro. And yes, the atmosphere of the thirties was recreated down to the dress models.
