[Fantasia '24] This remake doesn't suffer from any major pacing issues and never feels dated after the seven years since the original trilogy was released, though one might wonder whether it's really necessary to condense into a single feature-length film what had already been told in three. Partly because the directing style maintains that fragmented editing that sometimes introduces shots that cut between scenes, and uses intertitles that function as an homage to the Nouvelle Vague. With long sequences without dialogue, the film contains a gothic aesthetic that incorporates numerous elements of Christian symbolism, and works well apart from its predecessors.
