The most outstanding black thriller by Patrice Leconte, exploring humanity in modern society and the trust between people. The film is adapted from the original work by Belgian detective novelist Georges Simenon, depicting the old tailor Mr. Yier, who is usually silent and lives alone in an apartment. One day, his 22-year-old neighbor, girl Pirette, is brutally murdered in the bushes, and the eccentric old bachelor Yier becomes the prime suspect in everyone's eyes... This film can be described as a psychological analysis film, focusing on the mental journey of Yier and Alice, revealing the characters' personalities and psychological states with great depth. The story's plot and atmosphere strongly reflect the influence of Hitchcock, and the two main actors deliver outstanding performances under the director's calm tone. This novel was adapted into a film once before in 1946.
