Keep an Eye Out

It will be a long and very weird night in the interrogation room for Chief Inspector Buron and Mr. Fuguain. Fuguain found a corpse outside his apartment complex and is considered the prime suspect. When Buron is briefly called away, he appoints his one-eyed assistant, Phillipe, to guard the suspect. But Phillipe has an awful (and fatal) accident. Fearing he will be suspected of two deaths, Fuguain hides the corpse. Now, as the interrogation resumes, things go from merely strange to utterly bizarre. With the very darkest of humor, KEEP AN EYE OUT proudly disdains such tiresome plot devices as time, logic, reality, and, yes, even plot. As more evidence is revealed, Fuguain’s innocence looks increasingly doubtful, as does the competence and sanity of the police. You may begin to question yours. With a dead policeman in the closet and people inconveniently time-traveling, it all leads to an ending that might be called, with polite understatement, freaking surreal. These are the wonderful and twisted little gems you come here for. Bon appe´tit. (In French with subtitles) —C.R.
