Dead in France

Dead in France follows Charles to Cannes, where he attempts to retire from the hitman business for good. Unfortunately, some of his colleagues follow. Filming in black and white seemed like a random choice, and the self-professed black comedy was heavy on explicit violence and extremely light on successful jokes. One scene incorporated various creative uses of ballpoint pens, and elicited a pained “Mon Dieu” from the woman behind me. The hodge podge of characters didn’t work as a cohesive group, leaving those who stuck out the whole movie in a general state of confusion and disgust.
