Buffet froid

Merveilleux! C'est comme Bunuel et Beckett ayant un bébé.

A screwball comedy where everybody murders everybody. After a while, it struggles to maintain its initial level of freshness and amusement. When it fails it feels overwrought, but the beautiful cinematography and the great Depardieu and Bernard Blier do come together to create some great moments of absurdity.

Starts like a Kafkaesque dark criminal about ones soul but quickly turns into a one absurd on top of another. Great cinematography works well.

Bertrand Blier's follow-up to his Oscar winning "Get Out Your Handkerchiefs" is an absurdist tour de force filled with deadpan murders and a completely unflinching satire of the alienation of modern life. You can tell whether you'll like it in the first 10 minutes as it establishes it's tone and never wavers. I loved it, although it gets a bit tedious in the last act as the incessant nonsense starts to become a bit much.

The trio is working well, but the movie didn't get old well

I can't believe nobody told me this was a prequel to Ruiz's The Golden Boat.

Há 40 anos Coquetel de Assassinos estreava na França. Humor ácido absolutamente nonsense que você consegue encontrar muito em literatura, mas que no cinema poucas vezes dá certo, mas no caso do Blier se desenvolveu de forma excelente. WEBRip no MakingOff.

Funny nonsense.

Friendship, love, crime, passion, responsability and functionalist housing projects.

"No scales, no arpeggios here!"

Absurd-type humour is my favorite kind :) I'll be frank - I have no idea what is it about. I just did not get it (maybe I wasn't focused enough, or maybe I'm just too stupid). All in all it was fun to watch.

This is an excellent piece of darkly comic surrealism, as good as one of the lesser works of Bunuel. And that is great praise indeed.
