Here is the diabolical trick that the Firm presents to its clients: it doesn't make the indegent rich and does not exalt nonentities to the peak of power. Her clients are individuals who are already wealthy and successful. The firm doesn't provide them with a brand new lease on life - it really swaps them around like pieces on a table, while every one stays with his own. Under the new appearance, the aging insides are hidden, and underneath the new, completely new personality, there's a load of old memories, sins, mistakes and fears that you have to transport with you everywhere.


... However, our gloomy man seems to have a chance: on the beach he met a mystical woman named Nora (Salome Jens) - not his first youth, but nevertheless very attractive. By some hints, also from the'former '. At first, alert Tony gradually thaws.

Nora takes him to the annual festival of wine, where hippies indulge in libations and arrange a real orgy: grapes are poured in to a huge wooden vat, naked women and men trample it down seriously to the universal joyful chant. In this vat, the effervescent wine of the sexual revolution is fermenting, which turns the head of the hippie generation. By the finish of the century, it'll hopelessly sour in to a vinegar of harassment and pedophilia, but for many who happily tumble in a vat, it's still ahead. However, 30-year-old playboy Tony looks at this deadly sin with the eyes of 50-year-old accountant Arthur. Only if his clothes are forcibly scammed and dragged in to a vat does the minute of enlightenment come - bursting into hysterical laughter, Tony tumbles in a grape slurry! But no ... no breakthrough happened, sobering sets in, and paranoia returns ...

https://coub.com/feastverse35 Gradually, the unsightly underside of his new life opens before Tony Wilson. There's no turning back - he wants to test again, not realizing that the 2nd attempt is doomed similar to the first. Neither a new name, nor a brand new face will make him free and happy, because he's locked in his inner prison, and where the important thing from it's - God only knows ... Nevertheless, he requires another chance. The Firm is incredibly reluctant to make such deals. http://www.rivegauche.ru/content/many-thanks-balto-without-you-i-would-personally-be-lost Tony's only chance for an additional try is to find a new client for the Firm, as Charlie once found himself. The cycle of secondhand cows must continue ... https://knowyourmeme.com/users/cribclaus42/

Frankenheimer shot The Secondaries at the height of his directorial power, using his entire arsenal of highly polished visuals. Contrasting black-and-white cinematography, dynamic camera, sharp editing, unexpected angles, having fun with optical distortion and new wide-angle optics for anyone times, specially built scenery that produces an unreal perspective. Combined with the excellent acting of the actors, especially the'double-headed monster'Randolph / Hudson, this creates a sense of paranoia that literally sticks to the viewer. By viewing it becomes clear where the legs grow from the Aronophian'Pi'and'Requiem for a Dream '. Even the rocking camera that I hate is used tastefully and to the level - when it follows a drunk hero at a celebration, there is a genuine feeling of being'rolled'...

I would recommend watching it together with a Japanese painting of exactly the same year'Tanin no kao (Alien's face) '.
