Original Title:

Gun Crazy

Were it not for his Renaissance-Romantic beauty and his constant sketching, Xavier Lafitte’s Él would cut a sinister figure observing women drinking in a Strasbourg café, then following Ella (Pilar López de Ayala) along its winding streets. However, Guerin makes ingenious use of planes and perspectives to reinforce Lafitte’s credentials, and brings an everyday artistry to this near-silent docu-romance.

Darker and more subtly complex than you'd expect from a 1950s crime caper.
