With little action taking place for the majority of the film, this slow boiling story is more of an insightful character study than a heart pounding thriller.

Erotic languour turns gradually into fear and then horror in this gripping and superbly controlled psychological thriller from 1969.

The movie is so tautly constructed that not a single idea can seep in; it’s a mechanism made with an eye to spare elegance so obsessive that it runs without functioning, like a watch without hands.
