Unemployed loner Alphonse Tram (Gerard Depardieu) becomes prime suspect in a serial killing investigation after his knife is found sticking out of a body on the Metro. As the net closes around him, and the bodycount escalates, he goes on the run with a couple of unlikely allies: the ageing police inspector who lives upstairs, and a depressive who has murdered his wife. Bertrand Blier directs this labyrinthine contemporary film noir.
Murder, committed by various people for various reasons, is the subject of Bertrand Blier's dark and penetrating comedy. Alphonse Tram is a little surprised when he finds his switchblade embedded in the body of a total stranger--after all, he's sure he didn't put it there. But others who have killed remember their actions very well. And Alphonse befriends one of those guilty parties, one whose victim just happened to be Alphonse Tram's wife. Tram is pulled into a surrealistic, darkly comic web of murder and deceit that all leads back to his almost vacant, prefabricated high-rise apartment building and the police inspector upstairs. Grim, off-putting stuff from iconoclast Blier.
