“Monsieur Hireu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor a man who likes great cinematography, nice colors and a pretty female face, this film offers all of the above for me.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDirector Patrice Leconte usually makes stylish movies and this is no exception. Itu0026#39;s beautiful to view. So is Sandrine Bonnaire, the leading lady. Iu0026#39;ll have to see what other films have her in them. There are numerous closeups of her in this movie. This French effort doesnu0026#39;t show much u0026quot;skin,u0026quot; yet the film has an erotic appeal. That tells you something.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMichel Blanc, the male lead, plays a strange character but heu0026#39;s fascinating to watch, too. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTo be honest, the film has its slow moments but it is mesmerizing at times, too. The story is interesting overall and aided by two surprise twists at the end.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI am perplexed and frustrated over why this film is not available on DVD on which this great photography could really be shown off.”
