Our take
A delirious blend of dark comedy and crime thriller, Betrand Blier’s follow-up to his Oscar®-winning Get Out Your Handkerchiefs shocks with its moral ambiguity. Shot around freshly urbanized areas, this cult classic transforms nocturnal Paris into a strange new beast with murders in its belly.
