    • This is truly an amazing film. When I saw it at the cinema, someone in the row before me had a malaise and had to be taken out by some employees and leave in an ambulance! This incident added a touch of realism to the movie.

    • I absolutely agree - incredible!! I love these mini shorts with the directors ... I can see why his films would be circular in nature ... because investigating is a little like that
