you did pretty well. The real mystery with "the Passenger" to me; is just how obscure and unknown this gem is, and as you've mentioned Victor, even to find. It's Jack Nicholson at his absolute best! Which is pretty damn good!! This Film is like looking into a large VSI-1 diamond again and again to try and find that one fault that you know just MUST be there. But, joy, it isn't. A pinnacle of the filmmakers and actors craft. How seldom is anything made as well as "The Passenger". It takes rare cinema like this to show glaringly what's missing.
