Franck Poupart is a slightly neurotic door-to-door salesman in a sinister part of Paris' suburbs. He meets Mona, a teenager, who's been made a prostitute by her own aunt. Franck would like to change his life and also save Mona from her aunt. Murder is the only solution he finds to achieve his goal... A very gloomy movie, exuding dispair and uneasiness, with pathetic characters. (imdb)

Despite Dewaere's explosive performance, the movie is pushed by the plot like a broken car rather than moving on its own. Not that it's bad, just a bit conventional, not brilliant. Speaking of brilliant, there is another french Thompson's adaptation, Coup de torchon, that is absolutely mind-blowing.

he lead performance is great, the pulpy Thompson plot works well with appropriately despicable characters and the film certainly crafts an appropriate atmosphere. It's a very good film with elements that should appeal to me more, but even though I did enjoy it quite a bit, it never fully engrossed me. Something about it just felt off, like all the elements didn't quite fit right.

Série noire looked from the start that it's going to be a tough sell. Bad acting and senseless characters in a story that develops too slowly. Most of the parts that weren't uninteresting came off as unbearable. Will not accept nor understand the probable score of 82.
