Tagsüber schwelgt Alphonse in beklemmend-lustvollen Mordgedanken. Nachts wird er von Alpträumen geplagt, in denen er vor der Polizei flüchten muss. Als er in einer verlassenen Metro-Unterführung einen Sterbenden findet, in dessen Bauch sein Klappmesser steckt, stellt er sich verwundert die Frage, inwieweit seine morbiden Fantasien real sein könnten. "Den Mörder trifft man am Buffet" ist eine tiefschwarze Satire, bei der in vielen skurrilen bis komischen Momenten ernsthafte Untertöne mitschwingen: In der großstädtischen Anonymität vollzieht sich die Verrohung des Menschen.

I am not really a fan of French film, as the style does not resonate with me. However, sometimes it does hit the spot. Interestingly enough, the title of such films is often related to food. Today it was the absurdly absurd Buffet Froid. Plus, Delicatessen has long been on my top ten list. In the background and at the same time at the center of everything was the tower block; a building so ominous that it managed to entice even a violinist to move in!! I was intrigued by the high concentration of murderers per square meter, and I often laughed at jokes that many Americans would find inappropriate. Although I could never really warm up to Gérard Depardieu, his Alphonse was hilarious. However, my favorite character was Inspector Morvandieu, a big shot in the Parisian criminal underworld and a star of the resistance. This man more than made up for his weakness thanks to his six-barreled revolver, from which he could fire up to fifteen times without reloading. / "This is the first time I will see a man die." "Me too. I am usually late." / "Boss, we found a strangled woman on the fifth floor!" "Leave her, she is with us." / Lesson learned: A hitman may not share your sense of humor.

This film somehow nicely captures the atmosphere of the time it was made, which is good. It has a dirtier feel to it, which suits this odd comedy. It's also a pretty good crime drama, but it didn't manage to blow me away. By the way, it wasn't until this film that I realized how long Gérard has been on the scene and it really has been quite a few years.
