This is a very well done low budget film, which does not feel very low budget. The cinematography, editing and music are superb with a few faux pas'. The acting is good and the overall feeling is consistent and appropriate for the story. It had a tense, gritty atmosphere that seemed very real. While there is gore it is not overwhelmed with gore and presents a very sympathetic character that one can empathize with. If you are the typical tourist to Paris like me, this film shows you another side of life in that city. It is not dialogue heavy, so even if you don't understand French, the sensory aspects make it worth watching. I would like to see what the director could do with a bigger budget. This film can be seen with English subtitles as "The Weirdo". I wish there was a dubbed version in English.

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.

The crime genre features criminal activities, investigations, law enforcement, crimes, and the pursuit of justice. Crime stories often revolve around the planning, execution, and consequences of criminal acts, as well as the efforts to solve and prevent such acts. They explore various aspects of criminal behavior, motives, and the moral dilemmas faced by both perpetrators and those seeking to uphold the law.

Constant humiliation from society and a long drift into solitude slowly turn murder fantasies of Fabrice Lombard into an irrepressible impulse and Fabrice Lombard into a serial killer.
