The instinctual terror, sense of manipulation and primal reactions with which Sombre starts off evoke the vision and themes of this cryptic tale of chimerical love. Jean, who has embarked on a series of sex murders, meets Claire, the immaculate woman who gives him a glimpse of the possibilities of unconditional love. by subjecting his characters to a biological force that outweighs any psychological reasoning, Grandrieux frees the body from the mind, redefining the cinematic urge and enhancing our experience of life.
