Jean (Marc Barbe) is driven by a desire to annihilate women. He strangles several in this protracted journey into his personal hell. Philippe Grandrieux, who made the boring "La Vie Nouvelle", manages to create a modestly concrete narrative here. It is an experimental piece. It may work for some. It didn't work for me. The director often shoots his subjects out of focus for reasons that remain unclear. The editing is adequate, the dialog is sketchy, the performances have a disconnected quality, though they don't lack realism. Ideas and themes are tossed around, but nothing is addressed directly. The sound mix is haunting and some of the driving sequences have the quality of a very bad dream. "Sombre" is a film of personal indulgences. I found the pace interminable and felt relieved that my suffering was over when the credits rolled.
