...like him, and sustain it with camerabatics and an attention-deficit editing ethic. The problem with his films, if it is one, is that they often describe a degeneration based on repetition. His characters' tragic flaw is that their crimes are their obsessions; they become addicted to expressing the beast within themselves.
