This crime story is told in a way that keeps one's breath away, including many other side-stories which are never explained but understood to the viewer who is looking for more than entertainment. All characters are complex, brilliant acting, one sympathises with all the characters. Probably not satisfying if one is looking for thriller only, but the psychological dimension is what this movie is about.
Soundtrack is very well done. No cheap effects. Nothing is one-sided. The atmosphere is transporting us in the universe common to Eastern Europe of the '50s and '60s and it reminds of similar stories of serial killings which remained officially undisclosed to the public eye in their time.
Coming from Eastern Europe myself, I still remember the times when women were afraid to walk alone at night. It really gave me the chills.
