QuickView
Story-line: in his neighbourhood, Monsieur Hire is so despised for his coldness that he is considered a suspect when Pierrette Bourgeois is murdered. Truth be told, the little tailor formerly known as Hirovitch is quite a different fellow when he thinks about Alice, that lovely woman he ogles from a distance.
Pluses: a dark thriller in the Hitchcock mould.
Minuses: none really.
Comments: Patrice Leconte makes intriguing films and MONSIEUR HIRE ranks among his best. Quality time for film buffs.
