Synopsis: Catherine (Isabelle Adjani) is a seductive predator – a serial killer who lures wealthy men to their death. Beauvoir (Michel Serrault), a solitary detective known as “The Eye,” is in pursuit. Convinced she is his long-lost daughter, he shadows her through Europe, concealing incriminating evidence and helping her elude the police. But when Catherine falls in love with a blind artist (Sami Frey), Beauvoir’s jealousy leads to a fatal accident, which once again sets her on a murderous path. Based on the best-selling novel The Eye of the Beholder by Marc Behm, Mortelle Randonnée (Deadly Run) was nominated for five César Awards including Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Cinematography.

I’d have probably enjoyed this film more if the dialogue was clearer and if I understood all the French expressions of the era. Subtitles would have helped, but there weren’t any.
So I was a bit lost 30% of the time 
Nonetheless, I enjoyed this mixture of detective film and slightly black comedy. It was an entertaining film, that’s for sure, and I will see it again. Especially if I can get subtitles the next time around 😉
