Next Time I’ll Aim For The Heart La Prochaine Fois, Je Viserai Le Coeur
Disciplined and conscientious, Alain Lamare, a model policeman, appreciated by his superiors, leads an investigation about a series of crimes. However, if the maniac escapes from the traps and roadblocks set by the police, perhaps it is because the killer is this young, timid policeman who leads a quiet, banal life among his brigade. At least until he loses the maps detailing his murderous wanderings...

This has a weird, eerie feeling, with authenticity; the ambience of France before computers or cell phones. Very disturbing. Based on real events, with artistic license. Not PG, monitor your children. Much of it, due to the lead actor Guillaume, and an excellent ensemble cast, excellent Director. This is horrific, but not the way you see things today. Yes, he is a serial murder. He is compulsive, avoids detection; but is he mad. He knows what he is doing is wrong. He just doesn't care. There is a calmness; and an everyday aspect to the not everyday. That is the most terrifying. Fear and Danger in the ordinary. Debating what I think of this film. It has some elements of a masterpiece, as it is almost perfect; meaning there is nothing I think, I would change. Very well crafted. If you love movies, and especially the French, see it.
