Alain E @AlainE Jan 21 Extremely well done real crime psychological or rather psychopathological thriller. Excellent color photography. Although we know that the guy gets arrested, when it happens the viewer is surprised. The depiction of the main character deftly avoids exaggerations. Nice music as well, including a Velvet Underground song. Unclear to me the symbolism of the image on the wall of the perpetrator’s apartment, which is the last thing we see when the movie ends.

It is a sign of a strong film that the highly dissociative villain is intriguing to watch as he devolves and is caught. It doesn't seem to have had a cinema release here, so catch it anyway you can.

The killer would later be revealed as Alain Lamare (played by Guillaume Canet and named Franck in the film), a gendarme on the hunt after himself... In choosing to revisit this notorious case, the film's director Cédric Anger confronts a memory that is as vivid in this area of northern France. The real serial killer, Alain Lamare, was diagnosed as schizophrenic following his arrest, and remains in a secure mental institution to this day. "Next Time I'll Aim for the Heart" (La prochaine fois je viserai le coeur) is well made and well crafted with great performances, but at the same time hardly that exciting or tension filled in my book as you know the killer from the beginning and the film is just based on the fact when he will actually be caught. And they always do get caught. See more 09/04/2015 Skal sikkert være dyster og alternativ, jeg fant den kjedelig. See more Ricardo G @Ricardogm 08/29/2015 Suspense "biográfico" sóbrio e cinzento um tanto convencional, mas competente no que se propõe. See more 08/21/2015 Based on real events in the late 70's, we follow a police officer who reveals more and more of his psyche. The killing of several young girls are giving the local police a hard nut to crack, and they seem to find no trace of the killer. Repressed feelings and unable to connect with the other sex, may resolve into tricky actions. See more Read all reviews
