Buffet Froid (CoId Cuts, 1979) is a beguiling black comedy from director Bertrand BIier (Going
PIaces) starring Gérard Depardieu. Depardieu plays unIucky AIphonse, who keeps stumbling
upon corpses, both of strangers and of ones he loves. He drops his knife on the subway, only to
find it sticking out of a dying man, and death seems to staIk him in bizarrely surreaI ways the
rest of the movie. He reports the stranger’s demise to his police inspector neighbor (Bernard
Blier, Bertrand’s father), who reacts with casual apathy. This morbid duo then meets up with
a confessed killer (Jean Carmet), and the three of them embark on a series of darkly comic
incidents that overthrow any notion of moraIity or decency.
