Arsenio Lupin (1947)
Arsenio Lupin is an audacious Parisian thief who mocks the police, especially Inspector Ganimard, but turns over most of his ill-gotten gains to charity. One night, he attends a party disguised as a newspaper writer who also mocks Ganimard; the next morning, the host's wife and a male guest are found murdered, and Ganimard arrives to solve the crime. A Mexican version of the Arsene Lupin character, with Sherlock Holmes tossed in as a cameo at the end.

How sad is this?
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
