From Ground Zero

★★★★ Rewatched

I don’t know how to write about this in a way that feels enough.  It’s quiet power, it’s simplicity. It will sit with me forever.

Rats!

How to get an Agatha Christie novelesque Film get 5 stars in the Australian Film Review Section:

1.  Have them speak any language other than English. In his case triple points for every addition language spoken.

2. Solve the mystery half way though. In fact solve the mystery three or four more times but don’t end the film - just continue to add more unnecessary plot to make it seem more interesting then it is.

3. Make the “bad guy”…
