Lol I never though about the teeth, but if the cap fits!...no it was the never ending beach shot like the sequence in the movie which is one of my all time favourites and the fact you're in France swung it for me lol
I shall now attempt to reference obscure classic French cinematic moments to every post you write ....ok so probably the next 4 posts as my knowledge will then be exhausted!
The cap fit indeed! Ok so now I see it too, these long shots a la Audiar. On the top of my head I have few other film noir references and also Emmanuelle 😁
