Film Description

A young girl is found murdered and the police are led to the reclusive Monsieur Hire. Living a mundane existence his greatest pleasure is to watch Alice who lives in the opposite apartment. One night she catches sight of his pallid face at the window, illuminated momentarily by a flash of lightning. Her initial fear gives way to seemingly seductive intentions as they are drawn into each other's lives. Patrice Leconte’s highly acclaimed film is an enigmatic tale of love and obsession played with haunting subtlety.
