At first, I was a little unsure on the two most immoral characters ending up together and, apparently, getting exactly what they wanted. Both are manipulative and self-serving, and they hurt others along the way. After thinking more about it, however, it seems less what they both want and more what they both deserve. So, the two may be happy as the film concludes, but if the past behavior is any indication, this will be fleeting. Also, this film had one of the coolest shots I’ve ever seen playing with shadow. While one character was talking in the background fully lit, the other listened and responded in the foreground, completely featureless, being kept both literally and figuratively in the dark. That scene will always be first to mind when I think of this film.
