Cold Cuts
A blackly surreal procession of amoral and/or illegal acts proceed haphazardly from Alphonse’s (Gérard Depardieu) discovery of his lost penknife embedded in a dying Métro traveller, and his subsequent alliance with his wife's murderer (Jean Carmet) and a police inspector Morvandieu (Bernard Blier), producing a cherishably Buñuelian depiction of the far-from-discreet crimes of the bourgeoisie.
This is a 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. Screened in tribute to Bertrand Blier who died earlier this year.
