Review

part five of the ten part series. this one is about an aimless youth who kills a taxi driver for no apparent reason. he plans it, but we don’t know what’s going on inside his head – it seems that he doesn’t even know why he commits the crime. he is helped by an ambitious young attorney who ends up being no help since our young killer gets the death penalty. a print is fuzzy and tanish at times and i assume it was a conscious choice, but i’m honestly not sure what for. this one had more style that decalogue iv.
