Rigorously absurd contemporary film noir which presents every character, incident and situation known to the genre, but none of the customary explanations, motivations or consequences.
A blackly surreal procession of amoral and/or illegal acts proceed haphazardly from Gérard Depardieu’s discovery of his lost penknife embedded in a dying Métro traveller, and his subsequent alliance with his wife’s murderer and a police inspector, producing a surreally Buñuelian depiction of the far-from-discreet crimes of the bourgeoisie. Screened in tribute to Bertrand Blier who died earlier this year.
Advisory content: violence, strong language
