"Quid est veritas?" (John 18: 38) and "unde malum?" have weighed on existence long before the latinorum. In the noir, tunnels with this tragic connotation already appeared in "The Third Man" (Reed / Welles, 1949) or in the filmography of another "gòok" like Kurosawa. Recommended for greenhorns and recidivists.… Expand
