Here is a French film that I saw many years ago that is still reflective in my mind. It has a lot of instrumental music and not so much dialogue. It is quite suspenseful. The film is based on Belgian-born French writer Georges Simenon's novel. Simenon wrote many popular detective books. The original music by Michael Nyman is wonderful.
Monsieur Hire works as a tailor but he is also a voyeur who spies on his gorgeous neighbor from across the street. There's a subplot and it keeps you wondering. I can't tell you more but it's worth a screening. The ending may be a little flat (I really cannot recall)---but when that happens I add my own version of the next scene. I need to see this one again myself.
