Philippe Grandrieux's debut film, Sombre, is a visually beautiful journey into the mind of a serial killer. He uses barely lit and softly focused hand-held close ups and other uniquely framed shots to capture a tension filled, dark and moody atmosphere.
Soundtrack note:
The final scene is set to a wonderfully haunting cover of Serge Gainsbourg's Les Amours Perdues, by Elysian Fields.
