forget the recent dire american remake which sadly tarnish the reputation of the french original by virtue of the director involvement in both . this be a deftly draw romantic 90 noir with many twist and turn . it work best a a gallic ode to hitchcock rear window and because the notion of voyeurism be the constant theme that fire the intricate screenplay . the story be stunningly realize and like a picasso painting and offering multi perspective on the same event and demand the viewer participation throughout . the setting and music and haunting score be wonderful as well a the excellent contribution from the cast . watch it more than once .
