Any man who both wrote and directed Priscilla has talent enough for another good film. This just isn't it. Perhaps he should have stayed away from adapting another person's novel. I haven't read Marc Behm's novel and, despite the praise heaped on it from its debut back in the early Eighties, never will now. Eye' is assigned to follow a wealthy business magnate's son who is withdrawing dear dad's money with false signatures.
Eye follows and records the son's movements.
Lots of recording devices and cameras make this standard opening interesting. In fact, for a short while I thought we might actually be watching an updated version of The Conversation . At this point we still have no story, just a few events. This is as good as it gets. Eye falls in love with this cold-blooded murderess.
