Looks can be deceptive !!!
‘Monsieur Hire’ is a film where you can find elements of horror, mystery, romance and comedy blending with each other and the result is a really endearing piece of work.

This is a film that is majorly about the deceptiveness of appearances. ‘Monsieur Hire explores the distinctions between what appears to be the truth and what is the actual truth, both in terms of facts and in terms of the nature of characters. Patrice Leconte uses the the screenplay and his camera to play around with the viewers with certain misleading shots and by deliberately withholding information. Certain ideas get set up in the minds of the viewer, but these ideas get undercut and turned on their heads with the unearthing of the actual truths towards the later parts of the film.

Patrice Leconte’s style of artistically using the lighting and his way of establishing thematic and character conflicts by the using of colour(blue and red) reminded me of Kieślowski. ‘Monsieur Hire’ foreshadows films like ‘The Double Life of Veronique’ and ‘Three Colours trilogy’. It also has a Hitchcock-like vibe to it in the way the film keeps the viewer guessing and on the edge of the seat with the way the mystery elements are handled. The camera movements are fluid, especially the sideways movement which at times contradict the movement of the characters in the scene. The beautiful operatic score helps Leconte to establish the theatrically poetic vibe that he is going for.

‘Monsieur Hire’ is driven forward by a dynamic, passionate and tender performance by Michel Blanc. He has to play a character who stays completely detached from the rest of the world, is very unsociable and not at all gregarious. Maybe similarities can be drawn between the characters of Hire and Gerd Wiesler from ‘The Lives of Others’. Blanc forces the viewer to completely sympathise with him and root for him.

In a nutshell, ‘Monsieur Hire’ is a poetic, touching and visually polished piece of work that I can’t help but recommend.

Worthwhile: a slightly dark, engrossing drama.
I am not so impressed as to call this movie sensational or even surprising, but I must say that if you like dramas that unfold like a hedge-maze and if you have a some patience, this film is very rewarding.

Monsieur Hire is a French film that is suffering on VHS. Still, the sound, the picture, and the general feel owes more to the situational technique than to technology. Indeed, the story is pretty engrossing, and personally, as a fan of slightly demented characters and a good plot-twist now and then, this movie hit all the right buttons: a creepy guy, a cute girl, voyeurism, plotting, and an uncertain outcome…

The acting is pretty anonymous, if well-executed. My focus, the direction of Patrice Leconte, was mature even this early on in her career. Working back from 1999’s “Girl on the Bridge” to “Ridicule” in 1996 and to 1989 with “M.Hire”, I have followed her films and I consider her a solid director and one worth checking out. Her movies are always just outside the realm of reality and that, after all, is what I am looking for in movies: a bit reality wrapped in some fantasy and allowing me an hour of escape.

Indeed, I watched this film with interest and didn’t even need a snack.
