Jacques Audiard made his debut with this darkly funny, psychological crime thriller.
Jean-Louis Trintignant stars as Marx, a small-time criminal who becomes reluctantly attached to lost-soul Johnny (Mathieu Kassovitz). At the same time, ageing salesman Simon (Jean Yanne) is on a mission to find the men who murdered his best friend.
The two storylines intersect in a breathtaking, ironic denouement, as morally ambiguous as the best film noirs.
