Becker’s near-documentary approach lends newfound excitement to a tried-and-true genre, and influenced a generation of French filmmakers.
The camera only moves when absolutely necessary, and when it does, it never calls attention to itself.
There’s a drabness to the art direction,shot in naturalistic black-and-white.
Including classics and modern favorites.
Perhaps the most extraordinary thing about this approach is that it doesn’t diminish the film’s entertainment value.
