A small career in more outre festival slots beckons this first feature by former video installation artist Philippe Grandrieux.

Aug 24, 1998 12:00am PT Sombre Guaranteed to send auds either straight to the exit or into paroxysms of rapture, "Sombre" is an impossibly arty, totally noncommercial construct that ends up, for those prepared to stay the course, as a surprisingly creepy look into the tortured mind of a serial killer.

No information is imparted about Jean apart from a briefly glimpsed bear suit , and much of the lensing has a day-for-night look, as if shooting straight into the sun.

While that may seem contrived, Grandrieux is more concerned with the idea to travelling or moving than the actual story.

Pic marks time in the first 25 minutes with an array of hand-held, jagged, home-movie-like images as the central character, Jean Marc Barbe , drives around France, casually strangling women.

Far from morality and any kind of convention, Sombre is a film that's all about seeing the world through the eyes of a killer.
