An early film that vividly demonstrated the role of chance in our lives. We watch a half-dozen people do the mundane things people do for 1 1/2 hours then they all end up in a bank at the same time...one is a shooter, the others victims.
The chopped up editing style he used here worked well. As we got to know the various characters there was no obvious connection among them until the last scene. This took some courage since they were very ordinary and the scenes we were forced to watch were banal.
But when it all snapped into place it did so with a resounding click that'll stay in my mind.
