Amen to all the praise which has been given to this wonderful movie. Yes, it is full of a rare and beautiful atmosphere.
There were, however, a few strange events which the movie leaves for the viewer to figure out. To wit: 1.) Why did the girl die and then come back to life. Her lover shot her through the chest and the police pronounced her dead. But then, she comes back to life. Why? 2.) Why did Robert, when he came upon the murder scene, inexplicably tell the killer to leave before the police arrived? 3.) Why did Robert thank the girl for 'allowing me to give myself to you'? 4.) Why did Robert, when he entered his room, deliberately give his enemy his gun so that he could kill him? After Robert dies, the girl and her estranged lover inexplicably rediscover each other and return to a state of mutual devotion unaffected by the previous curse which had driven them to suicide. All of these questions can be answered if the movie contains a Christ allegory where Robert represents Christ.
