Director Bertrand Blier’s son Bernard plays a key character in his father’s picture, a surreal farce about murder and mistaken identities. Gérard Depardieu finds a bloodied corpse on the métro, Jean Carmet is the man who put it there, and Blier is the inspector who tries, not very hard, to make sense of it all. A who’s who of French actors fill small but pivotal roles including Carole Bouquet and Michel Serrault.

About Daniel Kremer

Daniel Kremer San Francisco filmmaker Daniel Kremer has provided audio commentary tracks for Kino Lorber, Shout!

His acclaimed epic-length film Overwhelm the Sky (2019), adapted from a 1799 American Gothic novel, was screened internationally in classic  roadshow format, complete with overture, intermission, and printed souvenir programs.

He is currently under contract at Oxford University Press for the first book about Joan Micklin Silver.
