ESCAPE

Or not.

Today's movie was Jacques Becker's

Le Trou / The Hole

Four then five guys in a cell with an escape plan and the execution thereof plus the tension of trust (one guy is new) and being caught by the guards.

I cannot tell you anything about it or it would spoil.

It is worth your time and more.

It is amazing that Becker can keep things going for just over two hours which I did not find too long.

There is really nothing but digging and fine acting to watch. The relationship between the guys is beautiful to watch.

The restoration by Criterion is superb.

If you like a good escape film this is it.

I will give it a 4 out of Netrlix5.
