many doubts....SOME SPOILERS

Hi,

> 1) what's whit all the naked women in the streets, trunk, etc..

I think it's a commentary about how women (and sex) are used to sell stuff. It's not a new observation, but it was cleverly presented. According to the trivia section, the photographer was Oliviero Toscani, known worldwide for his controversial Benetton photos back in the 90's.

> 2) what's with the women at the end?

She's the next "him"!

> 3) was it a box what the man gave the women in the last scene?

I just saw the film, and he doesn't give the woman anything. He just ordered a pack of cigarettes. The thing is, he did not smoke before getting the job, but now he does, just like his last victim (who dies lighting up in his gas-filled kitchen, and whose job he got.)

> 4) did you enjoyed/liked the movie? why?

I like it a lot. It's quite "realistic", in the sense that there's a pervasive normality about his life (outside his murders, of course) and general behaviour. But even then, the murders also realist, up to a point. For example, I liked that he could not deal with the gun's recoil, a very real thing that you'd never see in an american film.

I gave it a 8/10 rating. I might add that Cost-Gavras is one of my favourite director. His masterpiece is Z (a must see). His first film, sadly not available on DVD, is Compartiment tueurs, a superb "whodunit".

1) Several of them show only parts of bodies ... legs, torsos etc ... I think this is a reference to dehumanization and the making of people into objects by uncaring corporations.

2) I think he recognizes that she is thinking along the lines that he did.

3) it's a mystery.

4) Yes, I enjoyed it ... it's still a political film, but with a lighter, somewhat comedic tone for a film from the great Costa-Gravas ... enjoyable if only for its oddity value, but well acted too.

But you ARE Blanche ... and I AM.
