Judex (1963) -- G. Franju
Georges Franju keeps
things zipping along in this loving homage to French silent serials (with
sound). No cliffhangers, but enough sudden plot twists to keep the average
viewer rooted to their seat (the fact that these are often unexplained keeps a
good level of absurdity in play, which I like). Franju has an eye
for composition and a deft hand with tracking shots. The costumes are
surreal and sexy. Worth the price of admission -- two bits (or is it two
francs)!
