A very good movie

Bertrand Blier is not really famous here on Listal but he is actually one of the best French directors, at least, he is among my favorites. It is must be one of his weirdest movies and it is basically one of those surrealist comedies like 'After Hours' by Scorsese. Usually, I'm not really a fan of this genre but I really liked this one. Indeed, there is a really good cast (Gérard Depardieu, Jean ... read more

What great talent wasted in this film! I saw this film only once because it brings together "monsters" of French cinema, but I hate the kind of films that Bertrand Blier (Bernard's son) makes.

Black comedy about solitude and dehumanization of the modern world, through the adventures of three men. First introduced is Alphonse Tram, an unemployed young man. His only neighbour is the police chief-inspector Morvandieu. Then a third man appears: the murderer of Alphonse's wife... Bizarre and unreal.

Release date: 19 December 1979
UPC: 720917503127

“What great talent wasted in this film! I saw this film only once because it brings together "monsters" of French cinema, but I hate the kind of films that Bertrand Blier (Bernard's son) makes.

I consider the cinema as an entertainment (divertissement) or even as a means of making known the History or the mores of the people; humor is my favorite cinema; on the other hand, I don't like "psychological" cinema at all, which has no meaning for me. (Idem for Goddart, Truffaut, etc.) Bernard Blier is employed here in a genre that absolutely does not suit him. Like Depardieu, he is a real actor, complete, as comfortable in comedy as in tragic roles ("Les tontons flingueurs", "Quai des Orfèvres", for example.” read more
