can't recalled any movie with that style. Surely, among my top five
favorite films of all times.

It's true ... very memorable direction, and no shot more memorable than the final one, in which the girl, Vali, walks past Joseph Cotton down the road into the frame's central vanishing point, the road lined with trees losing their leaves in the breeze after the funeral. He stands frozen as she passes, and the autumnal scene following the funeral evokes the passing of time, the passing of opportunity, and the imminence of mortality. It's a stunner. But then, there are many such gems in the film, and I'm sure many of you have your own favorites.
