1998
Directed by Philippe Grandrieux
Yet another movie that would have made a great Halloween entry, but I thought I had drained every horror film from the List already. I had never heard of Sombre before, and kind of wish I never did.
Jean is a serial killer who follows the Tour de France, killing many prostitutes along the way. He meets a woman who naturally, falls in love with him, unaware of the true monster he is within. Why is this such a common narrative?
Some of the editing choices of this movie were very strange, and even nauseating at times, with such a shaky camera. Well, I am recovering from surgery so pretty much everything is nauseating, including writing this review. But I still think this movie was sloppily put together.
I don't feel like this brought anything new to the table, and it's definitely skippable.
