an amnesiac tries to piece together his past
4 September 2019
Warning: Spoilers
A badly wounded soldier discovers that he has forgotten his own name and identity. After his honourable discharge, he tries to discover just who and what he is. Two letters guide his path : one is a letter cursing him to hell, the other is a letter calling him a friend...

A decent, well-made "noir" on a classic theme : an amnesiac trying to piece together his past, while being pursued by dangerous enemies both seen and guessed-at. I liked it well enough, more for its many clever twists and turns than for its emotional impact.

The movie contains a woman character who seems to come straight from "Life decisions to avoid : an introduction". In the movie, she falls hard for a man she knows little about - and the little she does know, is downright repulsive. But he's got a nice face, so that's all right.. In real life, starry-eyed fools such as these are likely to end up in emergency wards, beaten to a pulp.
