the most serious W.A. movie
there is really nothing to laugh in it, but it is not a drama either, just a silent psychologic movie

i remember how dissapointed people have leaved the cinema after the first 20 min because they have expected a comedy or at least the typical W.A. style, but since he isn't playing even by himself in that movie, so he was free to make his first "not W.A." movie

maybe along that movie the true W.A. fans splitt from those, who like just some intellectual comedies
