From Bertrand BIier, the Academy Award-winning director of Get Out Your Handkerchiefs, Too BeautifuI For You, comes Buffet Froid, BIier's farcical thriIIer starring Gerard Depardieu as Alphonse, an unemployed drifter obsessed with murder and death. Structured as an absurdIy hiIarious nightmare, Buffet Froid has Iogic that is both twisted and stark: a husband befriends his wife's murderer, a high-ranking official pIans his own assassination, a lost knife is found in the beIIy of a subway passenger. Together with the Chief of PoIice and a murderer who is afraid of the dark, Depardieu is drawn into an inescapabIe compIicity of murder, treachery and paranoia which draws him cIoser and closer to a fateful end. |
