Mystery Noir. Constant pulsing and ticking by various instruments suggest a gritty black and white detective story where a triple murder is the only feel-good part of the film. Sultry, breathy saxophones (or a goose with bronchitis) create a throbbing rhythm that morphs into pizzicato strings and glockenspiels suggesting the passage of time or suspenseful waiting. The cut gets dramatic and slightly violent @1:40, with screeching atmospherics and drums, building in complexity and intensity. Good for murders, creating tension or sexy mysteries.
