At the party, as Claude is shooting, you can clearly see the slide on his Glock lock back indicating that the magazine is empty, but he shoots three more times.

Quotes

Narrator: So you're born in the capital of the world and you can never escape. And that's how it is because that's how everyone wants it to be. It is all about want. No one needs anything here. It is about when you wake up in the morning and the snow is already coming down and it's bright between the buildings where the sun falls but already dark where the shadows are. And it's all about the want. What do you want? Because if you don't want something you've got nothing. You are adrift. You're washed away...

User Reviews

The film is definitely worth your attention

Damn i don't know if we watched the same film i do but this is masterpiece,i mean its almost perfect , interesting plot, some action and its kind of special how the movie goes on. Nice cast, its definitely not the film that you would like to watch with your family, but really smart, i mean the philosophy of the film and the whole idea is worth to be heard, its for those kind of people who can really enjoy this kind of films, but its not for wide audience, for sure... The roles is perfectly approached for actors, and off course the idea of narrator in this film is great, I never felt boring while I was watching it and it impressed me and if you not one of those assholes like the one who was write the review just before me who completely not aware in cinema , you got to love it, if you are then I feel sorry for you, your lost.
