Le Furet

In this French comedy, a ruthless millionaire, fearing his imminent death, decides to play a macabre game with a petty thief. He offers the thief a substantial sum of money to kill him, intending to frame the thief for his murder. The thief, initially perplexed and hesitant, eventually accepts the dangerous proposition, leading to a series of absurd and escalating events.

Le Furet was generally met with mixed to negative reviews from critics, though it found a modest audience due to its stars. It is often viewed as a typical Jean-Pierre Mocky film, characterized by its dark humor and satirical take on societal flaws, but not always achieving widespread critical acclaim.

• The film's dark humor and satirical elements are present but not always effectively executed.
