Query: Masterpiece ? Eh....

I do not regard this as a so-called "masterpiece". To be blunt, I think it's reputation has been helped along all these years by the fact that it's old, in black-and-white, and in French, giving it an arty feel. Granted, it has some good cinematography, making good use of shadow, and it's quiet passages lend it an air of mystery. But a masterpiece ? No, it is not. I think I was intrigued by it up until the non-climactic end. I was left thinking, "That's it ??". I kept expecting a chilly, goose-bumped ending, one that the film's reputation carries with it.I thought the extra documentary, "Blood of the Beasts", on the disc was more intriguing to watch.
