Great French crime movie about private detective called 'The Eye' (Michel Serrault) who tracks down crazy woman Catherine (Isabelle Adjani) on request by his employer, but believes that she is her dead daughter. In fact she is daughter of dead criminal and begins to kill her lovers one by one, while detective cover up her tracks and pursues her most of the time. That shadowing becomes boring after some time because of detective reluctance to tell her what he wants from her. After some time Catherine goes nuts and together with some girl start to rob banks and kill people, and while avoiding police and detective she jumps through the window of a high building in her automobile, killing herself. Charming photography and acting make this movie pay up for somewhat confusing story.
