Did no one else think this was funny?
I just watched the version that TCM aired Saturday morning and I was struck not only by the intimate story and impressive visuals but by what I perceived to be a consistent thread of dark, surreal humor throughout. I even laughed out loud a couple of times, like during the scene when the protagonist receives his pistol.
But then I came here and didn't see any mention of it. Was I the only one left with this impression? Was it intentional, or a by-product of the bad dubbing?
