Described as one of his most engaging films, Jean-Luc Godard’s 1985 film references and deconstructs genre conventions against the backdrop of a murder.

Emile Chenal and his wife, Françoise, lean on boxing manager Jim Fox Warner to cough up a considerable sum of money that he owes them, with both the police and the mob circling the situation. In the same hotel, Inspector Neveu looks into a murder that took place there years before.
