Preorder scheduled for release on August 18, 2026
Too farcical to be a thriller, yet too surreal to be a farce, Bertrand Blier’s wonderfully absurd Buffet froid follows Alphonse Tram (Gérard Depardieu, Stavisky…), an unemployed man who befriends anyone who will listen to him, before, often, murdering them by mistake.
After Tram’s wife is murdered, he befriends his new neighbour, Inspector Morvandieu (Bernard Blier, the director’s father), and his wife’s killer (Jean Carmet, Black and White in Color) as they hop from misadventure to misadventure, often in bizarrely liminal spaces, leaving behind a trail of accidental victims.
Buffet froid was a financial flop in 1979, but has since gathered a die-hard cult reputation as, per Time Out, ‘a cherishably Buñuelian depiction of the far-from-discreet crimes of the bourgeoisie’.
