A.K.A. Serial Killer
Probably the first “one of these” (unless you want to count Histoire de Détective as a 40-years-earlier-than-this-15-years-early-example precursor), but hardly the best; rushed by nature as a reaction to events happening earlier that year, but for all the theoretical/conceptual meat on the bones here I found it a bit lacking in formal rigor - sometimes the camera is still and other times it’s wandering around, sometimes it zooms in this way and other times in that way, sometimes the picture is cut to the soundtrack, other times it isn’t, other times the soundtrack is sparse enough that it might as well be running silent for minutes at a time. Feels unfinished in a lot of ways, which is certainly not to say uninteresting or unimpressive as much as it is to say I hoped for something a bit more max-power. 862
