Film notes

One of Capellani’s most astonishing short films, with intense acting and an empathy created with the audience, both by the victim – Mistinguett panicking after she has seen the criminal’s hand under her bed – and by the intruder, hanging outside her balcony and panicking lest he be discovered.
