the combination of the superb black and white photography and the eugene onegin with a twist plot make this a real knock out for me . the atmosphere create by the mostly very dark shot contrast with occasional very bright overexpose white be grip . there be a superb moment where where transparency apparently conventional holiday snap but where the face of the actor reveal character and situation subtly but instantly be show accompany by lensky heart wrench aria from the tschaikowsky opera eugene onegin . for me the mark of a good film be that it should take advantage of the opportunity present by that medium and which mean that often the story be less important than imagery and atmosphere last year in marienbad be a good example of such a film . krisana be in the same mould .
