Out of this World

The whole movie is somewhat weird, the dialog is almost non-exist because neither the main female character, Amélieis, a deaf young woman played by Aurélia Poirier, nor the psycho loner, Leo, played by Kévin Mischel, never wants to speak. I don't know how Leo, an Uber driver, but actually the serial killer, who could keep killing women without even left any trace of his crimes. The police force and the detectives never appeared in the movie. The serial killer is also a musician wannabe who uses his laptop to create music (only one piece throughout the whole movie). His laptop seems to be always fully charged. He seems also to live in his Peugeot all the time without taking a bath or really uses water to wash his face, he brushes his teeth only with toothpaste outside his car.

The movie itself is not interesting enough to watch, but there are two great dances done by Aurélia Poirier, a solo dance so powerful and deep to watch. Then there's one dance, a dance performed by Léo with his imaginary partner Amélieis; that dance is great too. These two great dances should be adapted by "So You Think You Can Dance" and to be nominated for Emmy Awards.

Great movie with an beautiful soundtrack from cyesm.

The actor of this movie is sensationnel and did a great job.

This movie was a great surprise...i didnt know what to expect...and i loved the movie.

The scenario is simple...but the character,the acting,the music kept me in the movie until the end.

I was lil bit in shocked after watching it. So its a good thing to feel something after a movie ;) nothing worst to feel nothing after a movie. Here its not the case at all.

The photo and the DP , did a good job too in a way

special mention to kevin mischel, is really a stud. Underestimated!!!

After seeing the stylised Neo-Noir chamber piece of The Woman with Leopard Shoes (2020-also reviewed),I got set to unleash the second French title in the Frightfest section of the 2021 Glasgow Film Festival.

Note:Some plot details in review.

View on the film:

Losing away from what little sanity he had left in the opening sequence, Kevin Mischel gives a blistering turn as Leo, whose mumbled, garbled speech patten, tatty beard and dead eyes to the world as his blood lust is released, are wonderfully used by Mischel to express the on a knife edge,ticking time bomb murderous insanity Leo is always a moment away from revealing itself again.

Unveiling that even when doing normal activities Leo is thinking about the next women to kill, via his Pogo dance moves turning into him screaming like a manic and doing imaginary stabbing motions on the dance floor (!),writer/director Marc Fouchard & composer /cinematographer Pascal Boudet present a filthy, grubby Grindhouse portrait of a serial killer, with the burning blood red from the killings, (edited in jolts by Coban Beutelstetter) being the lone colour in a dour, dead world.

Driving into meeting Leo with him being a taxi driver, the screenplay by Marc Fouchard jabs at the staples of the "Psycho Loner" genre, from Leo struggling to tell the difference in reality and fiction for his love interest, to a dream/nightmare ending,where Leo interacts with one of his victims. Uncovering scares from childhood abuse Leo suffered, Fouchard focus on Leo's psychological mind-set, brings out a grisly quality to the anonymous,innocent women murdered,as Leo heads out of this world.
