Buffet Froid
The film had 777,127 admissions in France which was considered a failure. It has however since gained cult status.,When Insp.

Written by Johannes Brahms,A monument of dark humour, Buffet Froid relies more on what is not said rather than the obvious slapstick humour we're being fed on extensively these days. I showed it to many people and a lot of them admitted they did not understand because it was not "anchored in reality" - to which I answered that not everything is supposed to be. This is superior quality surrealism, and the trio Depardieu-Blier-Carmet works wonders. RENT IT !,
