Parisian cop Florence Cassandre (Gwendoline Hamon, Perfect Murders, Murder In…) moves to Annecy and takes a new job investigating crimes in the stunningly beautiful Haute-Savoie region near the Swiss border. As a city girl, she’ll have to adapt to a team that isn’t expecting her and to a world where neighbors have known each other for generations. Yet the countryside is far from quiet, and it turns out the crimes committed in Annecy and the surrounding region are no less intriguing and complex than those in the big city. The cast also includes Alexandre Varga (who played Mathieu in Alice Nevers and Raphael in Pacific Criminal), Dominique Pinon (Amélie, The Island of 30 Coffins) and Jessy Salomée Ugolin (Storm Warning, Love and Trouble in Paris).

Michel Blanc’s nuanced performance, Patrice Leconte‘s refined visual style, and Denis Lenoir’s moody cinematography are perfectly in sync with George Simenon’s elegant prose in this beautiful adaptation of the author’s 1933 detective novel, Les Fiançailles de Monsieur Hire.  More an in-depth study of loneliness, longing and betrayal than a murder mystery, the film is made up of minute, carefully-observed details, placing its central character — a fastidious, reclusive tailor with an inclination toward voyeurism — under a veritable microscope.  Its telling manages to be simultaneously sensual and austere… and finally, heartbreaking.  Unapologetically romantic, Monsieur Hire is very different from the searing social indictment of Julien Duvivier’s 1946 adaptation of the same story, Panic, or of the original novel itself.  Leconte has chosen, instead, to paint a restrained portrait of vulnerability and unrequited love, set to the lush, rhapsodic phrases of Brahms Piano Quartet in G Minor.
