Fantastically Fascinating : NUITS ROUGES

Film made in France 1973-74 aka SHADOWMAN

with direction as well as music score by Georges Franju
written by Jacques Champreux
 
A quite cartoonish creation for being real actors
filling some space between comedy and thriller
feeling extremely much as time spirit before my birth 

At first the intrigue threads seemed impossible to get grip of
until their logic became simple enough after more than two rounds
