Patrice Leconte's best black thriller explores human nature and the relationship of trust between people in modern society. Based on the original work of Belgian detective novelist George Simenon, the film tells that Mr. Yi, the old tailor, is usually silent and lives alone in his apartment. one day, Pierrette, a 22-year-old neighbor girl, was slaughtered in the bushes. Earl, an old bachelor who usually behaves strangely, has become a suspect. This film can be called a psychoanalytical film, which focuses on the mental process of Yi'er and Alice, and has a hierarchical sense of revealing the personality and psychological state between the characters, and there is a thick Hitchcock shadow in the rendering of the storyline and environment. The two main actors give full play to their acting skills in the director's quiet tone. The novel was filmed once in 1946.
