Synopsis
Murder, committed by various people for various reasons, is the subject of Bertrand Blier's dark and penetrating comedy. Alphonse Tram is a little surprised when he finds his switchblade embedded in the body of a total stranger--after all, he's sure he didn't put it there. But others who have killed remember their actions very well. And Alphonse befriends one of those guilty parties, one whose victim just happened to be Alphonse Tram's wife. Tram is pulled into a surrealistic, darkly comic web of murder and deceit that all leads back to his almost vacant, prefabricated high-rise apartment building and the police inspector upstairs. Grim, off-putting stuff from iconoclast Blier.

5.0 out of 5 stars classic blier, 8 Aug 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Buffet Froid [DVD] [1979] [US Import] (DVD)

From the stark first scene in the subway at la defense to the equally cold winter countryside of france, blier shows us a less than saccharine version of his native country. The central character is the only warm person and though flawed, remains a pawn in the calculating game played by the lustrous carole bouquet, fresh from bunuel's "that obscure object of desire".
Quirky blier humour abounds, more of which can be sampled in "tenue de soiree", and depardieu tries to negotiate the kafka-esque plot with his trademark passionate performance.
The film sets the scene for the next decade of french arthouse cinema with a departure from narrative and structure in which blier eventually excelled.
