Decidedly odd, this 1923 set movie begins slowly with the man of the title
peering from his enclosed upper space at those approaching from without and
those dwelling below. At first this looks like being an unusual but fairly
predictable ‘pink’ but when killing joins sex on the menu and the watcher joins
the watched this turns a little more hard edged. Slightly confusing at the start,
with a lot of black screen and changing faces but soon we are down to the
main protagonists and there is little room for ambiguity. The dramatic ending
gives explanation for the 1923 setting and concludes what in the end is an
erotic and powerful exploration of human nature’s darker side. Not without
faults but well worth a watch.
