A slight, wiry anarchist in a heavy duster coat threads a fuse into a crude pipe bomb in a cramped tenement basement. The stark chiaroscuro lighting and unsettlingly asymmetric composition evoke the paranoia of early thriller cinema. The Agfa Standard orthochromatic film renders deep blacks and harsh contrasts, complete with the distinct edge softness of a Goerz Dagor lens.
