There are others in this that are far more sadistic, just not in the movie villain way.
All the trying to sprinkle in the past with the present in order to provide context and backstory didn't work for me, though.

Maybe...completely devoid of the Bresson gene.
This is, without a doubt, the main director that is so critically praised and universally loved and I cannot, for the life of me, understand why. To…
