Simon Killer

A crash on a mountain road changed the lives of four families. For Simon, a recent college graduate adrift in Paris, the collision is internal. He drifts into a volatile relationship with a sex worker, his charm a thin veneer over a deep-seated rage. This 2012 psychological thriller dissects alienation and masculinity through a lens of unsettling intimacy. The city of lights becomes a maze of neon-lit bars and sparse apartments, a perfect backdrop for a character study where the real violence is emotional. Director Antonio Campos crafts a deliberately paced, unnerving drama about a man whose greatest enemy is the person he sees in the mirror.
