Simple mortel (1991)
10/10
One of the best SF movie ever, with no special effects
18 July 2005
I won't tell you the story. Everything lies in the ambiance Pierre Jolivet manages to create. It starts as an ordinary day of life and little by little, the main character life moves towards the fantastic. He's alone to face strange things happening and cannot share this with anybody else which makes the story more dramatic.

It's one of my favorite SF movie (and I love SF) even without special effects. The fact you have no SFX does not prevent the film from being SF even it is more fantastic than hard-core SF. Don't expect to see plenty of aliens. The idea and the script is brilliant and very well shot. I would not be surprised to see a remake by Hollywood one of these days.
