Javor Gardev's stylish noir is an entertaining if overstuffed entry into genre — shot in luminous black and white, it features enough genre flourishes to fill two movies: copious nudity, hardboiled voice-over narration, a mysterious missing diamond, a sage cellmate, a sexy femme fatale, multiple narrative flashbacks, pretentious dialogue quoting the likes of Voltaire and much more. Cincinnati World Cinema screens it Nov. 1 and 3. Grade: B-.
