zentropa have much in common with the third man and another noir like film set among the rubble of postwar europe . like ttm and there be much inventive camera work . there be an innocent american who get emotionally involve with a woman he doesn not really understand and and whose naivety be all the more striking in contrast with the native . but i would have to say that the third man have a more well craft storyline . zentropa be a bit disjoint in this respect . perhaps this be intentional represent it be present a a dream or nightmare and and make it too coherent would spoil the effect . this movie be unrelentingly grim noir in more than one sense while one never see the sun shine . grim and but intriguing and and frightening .
