Serie Noire
Directed by Alain Corneau
Produced by Prospectacle, Gaumont
A bleak French noir about obsession and psychological unraveling, where a salesman's descent into a dark underworld mirrors his loss of grip on reality.
In the shadowy outskirts of Paris, a desperate door-to-door salesman crosses paths with a mysterious young woman trapped in a grim world. As his obsession deepens, his grip on reality begins to slip—and the line between escape and destruction starts to blur.
