Monsieur Hire

Reclusive middle-aged bachelor Monsieur Hire (Michel Blanc) spies nightly on his seductive neighbor, Alice (Sandrine Bonnaire), through her undraped windows. She seems to welcome the attention … until a 22-year-old woman's nude corpse turns up in the vicinity. Suspicion quickly falls on the voyeuristic Hire, and an erotic game of cat and mouse unspools -- with a twist -- in this spellbinding French thriller from director Patrice Leconte.
