Judex (1963) ****1/2 [Criterion Double Feature Pt. 1]

This one was simply great. It's like Dick Tracy/early 20th century crime serials, silent cinema, DANGER: DIABOLIK and ‘60s French New Wave all rolled into one, bolstered by a fantastic Maurice Jarre score and excellent B&W cinematography and f/x. And now I'm dying to see the original 1916 silent serial by Louis Feuillade, who also directed the serials LES VAMPIRES and FANTÔMAS, both of which I am extremely interested in visiting someday as well.
