Buffet froid
Buffet froid is a 1979 French film written and directed by Bertrand Blier, starring Grard Depardieu, Carole Bouquet, Bernard Blier and Jean Carmet. The film is a crime thriller, but displays a high degree of black humour, with contemporary urban life depicted as alienating and having a dehumanizing effect on city dwellers. The film won a Csar Award for Best Writing, and was nominated for Best Cinematography, Editing, and Production Design.
Later that night, Tram discovers the same man in a tunnel leading from another metro station, lying down with the knife stabbed into his stomach. He has no explanation to the police inspector Bernard Blier he reports it to as to how it happened. He speculates, perhaps unwisely but without caring for the potential consequences as in Camus Ltranger, to the police inspector that it was his own knife that killed the accountant. The police inspector, irate at having to consider a complex case while offduty, pushes Tram out of his apartment saying he has a bellyfull of murders all day and doesnt want another to deal with. This sparks off a series of bizarre occurrences around the city as Trams wife is killed, and the perpetrator Jean Carmet who confesses to the murder is seemingly taken lightheartedly by the police officer and Tram himself.The film had 777,127 admissions in France which was considered a failure. It has however since gained cult status. ........
