Monsieur Hire
For a man who likes great cinematography, nice colors and a pretty female face, this film offers all of the above for me.
Director Patrice Leconte usually makes stylish movies and this is no exception. It's beautiful to view. So is Sandrine Bonnaire, the leading lady. I'll have to see what other films have her in them. There are numerous closeups of her in this movie. This French effort doesn't show much "skin," yet the film has an erotic appeal. That tells you something.
Michel Blanc, the male lead, plays a strange character but he's fascinating to watch, too.
To be honest, the film has its slow moments but it is mesmerizing at times, too. The story is interesting overall and aided by two surprise twists at the end.
I am perplexed and frustrated over why this film is not available on DVD on which this great photography could really be shown off.
