Starring Gerard Depardieu, Bernard Blier, Jean Carmet, Genevieve Page

Bertrand Blier's murderous black comedy gives an unexpected and slightly menacing twist to the familiar French roman policier.

Alphonse Tram loses his penknife on the Metro and is startled to discover it, a few stations later, stuck in the chest of a corpse. When he gets home to the huge tower block he inhabits alone, Tram finds that another tenant has moved in: a police inspector who tells Tram that he is hot on the trail of a killer.
