Der Merkwürdige Monsieur Victor

Wien,1938: Der jüdische Galeristensohn Victor Kaufmann, der Arbeiter Rudi und Victors Freundin Lena sind unzertrennlich. Nur insgeheim neidet Rudi dem Freund Frau und Finanzen. Eines Tages tauscht Rudi seine Arbeiterkluft gegen die SS-Uniform und verrät seinen Nazi-Kumpels ein brisantes Geheimnis: die Kaufmanns besitzen einen echten Michelangelo! Was Rudi nicht weiß – auch zwei Fälschungen sind im Umlauf. Rudi beschlagnahmt, was er für das Original hält, schickt die Kaufmanns ins KZ und verlobt sich mit Lena. Doch gerade als der Michelangelo dem Duce geschenkt werden soll, entdeckt man das Geheimnis: die Italiener sind empört.

Monsieur Hire - by Patrice Leconte (1989) (DVD5+DVDRip)

Lonely and shy bachelor Monsieur Hire, suspected in the murder of a girl, secretly watches his young, attractive neighbor Alice through the window. Once, when lightning flashes during a thunderstorm, she notices his face in the window and comes to him to find out what he is after. Patrice Leconte emphasized the psychological drama rather than the detective story and created a film about loneliness and voyeurism; his cold precision is reminiscent of Alfred Hitchcock or Fritz Lang. The low-key acting and moody soundtrack add a lot, but it's the director who deserves the most accolades, as he manages, with only glances and gestures, to achieve a degree of eroticism that other films fail to reach even through explicit sex scenes.
