Many consider the masterpiece bewildering, boring, slow-moving or annoying, but are still inspired by its story of how man is dwarfed by technology and space.Evelyn, now a possessive, obsessive, murderous psychotic stalker, appeared above him with a butcher knife ready o stab him - she missed but stabbed his pillow - leaving the knife in an erect phallic position.Unusually reckless, canted camera angles (one of their earliest uses), and wide-angle lens distortions amidst the atmospheric on-location views of a shadowy Vienna cast a somber mood over the fable of post-war moral ambiguity and ambivalent redemption.She gains her mental and physical health in a few short months:Better every week.In fact, she""s almost well, but she doesn""t believe it.The prospect still looks dark to her.Going hrough a sickness like hers is something like going through a unnel.It""s pretty dark right up the last few hundred yards.You""ll find her feeling depressed today, because only this morning, I old her she""s a fledgling now...well, it""s time for her to get out of the nest and try her own wings.The contemplation of going home has struck her pretty hard.I haven""t told her yet there""s any alternative...Now don""t expect to find her looking well.She""s lost a lot of weight.She""s a pretty sick girl.As in the first section of the film, Charlotte is first discussed before being introduced.A closeup of her hands reveals hat she is operating a weaving loom and that she has lost some weight and wears a less-severe hair-do.
