A parody of the noir genre where everyone's reactions to actions are not what it should be. It appears to be a strange dream where the protagonist is living in but as the story moves the absurdity catches up to him wishing to wake up from it. It's not a dream, it's a guy who's stuck in some crazy world created by Blier I think. It's an oddball experimental film coming from Bertrand bliers playful cynical mind. Goes to show what a filmmaker can do if he's truly free to do what he wants.
