Feux rouges, which translates to Red Lights in English, is a 2004 French thriller directed by Cédric Kahn. The movie is based on a novel by Georges Simenon and stars Jean-Pierre Darroussin, Carole Bouquet, and Vincent Deniard in lead roles. The story revolves around Antoine (Jean-Pierre Darroussin), a successful middle-aged businessman who is on his way back from a vacation with his wife Hélène (Carole Bouquet) when they are stopped at a traffic light. The light turns green, but the car in front of them doesn't move. Antoine honks, but the car remains stationary. Finally, Antoine gets out of his car to investigate and discovers that the driver is dead.

Antoine informs the police but instead of cooperating, he is drawn into a dangerous game of cat and mouse with the murderer, a young man named Louis (Vincent Deniard), who becomes obsessed with Antoine and his perfect life. As the story unfolds, Antoine's life begins to unravel, as his career, marriage, and sanity are all threatened by Louis' manipulation.

The movie is a tense psychological thriller that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. It explores the dark corners of human nature and the thin line between normality and madness. Jean-Pierre Darroussin delivers a superb performance as Antoine, a man who is slowly losing control of his life, while Carole Bouquet shines as his beautiful but troubled wife.

Vincent Deniard is equally impressive as Louis, the unhinged murderer who seeks to destroy Antoine's life. Louis is a complex character, and Deniard portrays him with just the right amount of charm and menace. As the two men engage in a deadly battle of wits, the tension escalates, leading to a thrilling and unpredictable climax.

The cinematography is also worth mentioning, as the film takes full advantage of its Parisian setting, with stunning shots of the city at night. The use of color is also notable, with the titular red lights playing an important symbolic role throughout the movie.

Overall, Feux rouges is a gripping thriller that will keep audiences guessing until the very end. It is a masterclass in suspenseful storytelling and a must-see for fans of the genre.
