any films like this?


One of the best portrayals of a sociopath in a film. Being interested in this topic, I found this film to be very realistic and enjoyable. Any films similar to this?

A French one: "With a Friend Like Harry"

Saw it on Netflix, VII15.

The eponymous character becomes darker and sinister as the action progresses. "With a Friend Like Harry" is not the exposition of lingering ambiguity that "Simon Killer" is, but we and Harry's former classmate learn, turn by shocking turn, that things are not what they seem...

Features tarte à la crème Sophie Guillemin for extreme contrast. :)



SPOILER:

Also offers handyman tips on what to do with an old well. An unused one, so there is no call for the Alfred Hitchcock nursery rhyme,

Deep into the well
That the plumber built her,
Aunt Maria fell:
We must buy a filter.

The Comedy is somewhat similar, the guy in that is not necessarily a sociopath (could be) but more bored or complacent the way people can get when they have no survival needs. I may be wrong, I think the feel of the films are similar but 'the comedy' is less dark. This movie reminds me of 'the stranger' by Camus, sort of similar I guess.
