I love POINT BLANK because the act of watching it feels like you're trying to remember something, but it won't totally cohere. Like the way you'll try to piece together specific details of a memory, but they're gone. The film has a deliberately broken structure.

Which is captivating because genre cinema is structuralist by nature. So, by breaking that structure, it's post-modern and exploits its signifiers and the expectations of the viewer keeping them off balance. It's a brilliant work.
