	DVD Times - Buffet Froid
		Notre Histoire, for example, was a study of love and freedom from Blier but was set against the stories told by a nymphomaniac and the hundreds of men she had slept with, all of whom gather in one house to remember the moment that being with her had finally made them feel alive.
		A typical Blier film is usually filled with more ideas that the plot could possibly cope with and although many appear to get lost, a key part of Blier's work is the loose adaptation of a frantic script without much thought for the ability of the viewer to stay with it.
		Feeling lost with a Blier film will not be a unique experience to anyone but in Buffet Froid as in his other films, that he manages to hold onto his ideas amid startling and often dazzling cinematography and writing is all that is needed to justify Blier's place amongst the greatest of writers and directors.

		An unemployed man is enmeshed in a nightmarish situation that plays itself out with unapologetic illogic: he falls in with shady characters like his wife's killer, a corrupt police chief, and a young beauty who is definitely not what she seems.
		Like all Blier romps (most notably the scatological Going Places and Ménage), Buffet Froid is definitely not for everyone, and Gérard Depardieu fans might feel especially cheated by his passive performance.
		Blier made a film absolutely free of any kind of convencionalism, intelligent humor, clever sense of absurd and mesmerizing laberyntic journey into the underworld, the acid view about a policeman who decides breaking the rules together with two men who are under a high stress anguish by different reasons.

	Buffet Froid
		Another is Bernard Blier (the director's father), as an unflappable chief of police who shares an eerily empty high-rise apartment block with Depardieu and his wife.
		Blier makes a virtue of the fact that its world is strangely empty and half-realised, and of the fact that the narrative is full of lapses and playful juxtapositions which lead the viewer down many false trails and disengage them from conventional storytelling.
		Blier père is also very effective and has some great moments of his own along the way.

	Bertrand Blier (1939 - )
		Bertrand Blier (born March 14, 1939) is a French screenwriter and film director.
		Structured as an absurdly hilarious nightmare, Buffet Froid has a logic that is both twisted and stark: a husband befriends his wife's murderer, a high-ranking official plans his own assassination, a lost knife is found in the belly of a subway passenger.
		Together with the Chief of Police and a murderer who is afraid of the dark, Depardieu is drawn into an inescapable complicity of murder, treachery and paranoia which draws him closer and closer to a fatetul end.

		Writer/director Blier constructs this farcical adventure out of bits and pieces of thrillers past, upending the clichés and confounding audience expectations at every opportunity.
		Blier's characters live in a world of physical and moral emptiness, where the coldness of the "monstrous, soulless city" turns its inhabitants into casual killers preying on resigned, relieved victims.
		Blier's ideas have merit, and Depardieu does a fine job as the bewildered, unassumingly violent Alphonse.

		From the stark first scene in the subway at la defense to the equally cold winter countryside of france, blier shows us a less than saccharine version of his native country.
		The central character is the only warm person and though flawed, remains a pawn in the calculating game played by the lustrous carole bouquet, fresh from bunuel's "that obscure object of desire".
		Quirky blier humour abounds, more of which can be sampled in "tenue de soiree", and depardieu tries to negotiate the kafka-esque plot with his trademark passionate performance.

	French Culture \| Cinema \| Henri-Georges Clouzot: Quai des Orfevres (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Set within the vibrant dancehalls and historic crime corridors of 1940s Paris, ambitious performer Jenny Lamour (Suzy Delair), her covetous piano-playing husband Maurice Martineau (Bertrand Blier), and their devoted confidante Dora Monier (Simone Renant) attempt to cover one another's tracks when a sexually orgreish high-society acquaintance is murdered.
		Another bitter post-war Christmas is in the air as saucy go-getter Jenny Lamour (played by Suzy Delair, Clouzot's real-life lover) warms up an entertainment-starved Paris music hall audience with a swing of her ineffably euphemistic "tra-la-la," part of the arsenal of charms she uses in her breakthrough to the big time.
		Still, she swears fidelity to her balding, jealous accompanist husband Bernard Blier (father of director Bertrand), who, convinced she's already hit the casting couch, issues an all-too-public death threat against the old fogey.

		Bernard Blier is perfect in the role of the husband who is incapable of seeing his wife’s faults until they are pointed out to him by the venomous tongue of his mother-in-law – a part which allows Blier to give one of his darkest and most introspective performances.
		As the seductive but manipulative wife, Simone Signoret could not have been bettered, and her masterful portrayal of a heartless villainess is evocative of her later, more celebrated, film roles, most notably as Nicole in Clouzot’s

		This doesn't sit so well with her husband, Maurice (Bernard Blier), a covetous cuckold who lives in perpetual suspicion of his wife's possible infidelities.
		What's wonderful about Clouzot's film, however, is how the director undercuts the audience's suspicions of Jenny with an early scene in which she professes to her friend, and surreptitious lesbian admirer, Dora (an impossibly glamorous Simone Renant), that she could never betray husband: "Maurice is my flame.
		As hilariously embodied by a balding and waddling Blier, Maurice is the Schlub of Schlubs.

	Restored French thriller is a dazzling film noir (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The film, which has been restored with new subtitles and is having its first American release in decades, is a dazzling film noir that's sure to enhance Clouzot's already substantial reputation here, and should create a demand for the re-release of his other unseen masterpieces.
		Originally shown in the United States as "Jenny Lamour," that title character (Suzy Delair) is an ambitious, vain singer/actress married to her jealous piano accompanist (Bernard Blier, father of director Bertrand Blier).
		The great Jouvet is worth the price of admission, but Clouzot matches his scene-stealing comic weariness with terrific work by Delair and Blier, and cushions his trio of stars with some of France's finest character actors.

		This behavior results in intense jealousy on the part of her husband and musical partner, Maurice Martineau (Bernard Blier), jealousy that mounts until he finally sets out after one of Jenny's potential seducers in a murderous rage--only to find that someone else beat him to the job.
		In a successful structural quirk, it is only at this late point in the film that its purported lead character--world-weary police inspector Antoine (Louis Jouvet)--enters the picture.

	dOc DVD Review: Quai des Orfèvres (1947) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		It's probably too reductive and excessively Anglocentric to refer to Henri-Georges Clouzot simply as the French Hitchcock, but the comparisons for an English-speaking audience may be inevitable; however Clouzot gets down and dirty in a manner that Hitch never did, especially in this movie.
		It's a handsome film noir from the land that coined the term, and it's a completely entertaining and fascinating bit of filmmaking.
		If you're fans of the genre (and if you're not, there's something wrong with you), you'll find many of the classic noir elements here—this time it's Suzy Delair as the tarty, sexually rapacious wife, a cabaret singer who has taken the stage name Jenny Lamour; Bernard Blier is a French Elisha Cook Jr.

	The Films of Henri-Georges Clouzot
		Though his reputation rests primarily on two films, Diabolique and The Wages of Fear, director Henri-Georges Clouzot established himself as a consummate professional throughout his career, dabbling in a variety of genres with a consistently skewed, often cynical world view.
		Under the stage name of Jenny Lamour, dance hall performer Margueritte (Rocco and His Brothers' Suzy Delair) constantly stokes the passions of her often jealous husband, Maurice (Bernard Blier, father of director Bertrand).
		The lecherous patrons of the club display more than a passing interest in the full-figured chanteuse as well, particularly one pawing old man whose elegant jackets disguise a wolf underneath.

		Oh yes, it's an art film but it's also a thriller, a comedy, a drama and a weird experimental flick.
		Depardieu is at his best and the lates Jean Carmet and Bernard Blier give breathtaking perfomances.
		This is, of course, not for Sly or Schwarzie fans but if you're a bit open-minded and if subtitles (excellent, by the way) don't mind you too much, that's a must-have.
