Maldonne (1969)

good enough to watch but it has a couple of very serious basic flaws...

[6/10 · 30 March 2017]

The story is interesting enough, there is a visual style or taste and the soundtrack is great... but at some point, the logical flaw is too obvious, regarding the assumption formulated by the "stalking" group about the main character: considering that the events actually take place in late sixties and that they don't talk about the possibility of an aesthetic-surgical operation , the man is young for god-sake and he can't be your guy!... that obvious fact is particularly confirmed by another central character in a dialogue...which of course leads to questioning the logical cover of the whole thing from the very beginning... the characters in such a story are supposed to be perfectly logical when they happen to be planning something so complicated... The book was certainly older than the movie so this basic mistake or "mis-setting" about the date and the backdrop must have been produced by the production, not the writers...
