Evokes so many other voyeur/obsession films—the bell tower from Vertigo, the gun-mounted mic from The Conversation, Craig Wasson's character from Body Double (especially in the way McGregor reacts to the first murder he witnesses) etc. I might change my mind once I see the original (Mortelle Randonnée, which I would watch if I could find an uncut version) but this one plays pretty solid (and always solidly strange).
Not a patch on Marc Behm's bleak existentialist noir love story/ crime novel. McGregor is woefully miscast as The Eye.
