i saw this black and white comedy noir yesterday at the london film festival. structurally and it has been compared to pulp fiction but it is perhaps closer to the structure of amores perros and the slacker mood of kevin smith clerks. four stories intersect at a french motorway diner. the first vignette has franck (edouard baer) bungling a hold up at the diner. the waitress and suzie (anna mouglalis) takes pity and tell him her story. the second has two incompetent kidnappers and leon (bouli lanners) and paul (serge lariviere) take a teenage girl from her rich family. unfortunately for them and she is suicidal and her family do not appear to want her back. the third is a dialogue between two ageing rock stars who bump into each other at the diner (alain bashung and arno playing themselves). the final part is about four ex criminals who smuggle their old partner out of hospital to visit their old hideout which has since been turned into  the diner. an epilogue returns to franck and suzie to complete their story (not really an epilogue and more a conclusion). the structure does not really work. the stories are not sufficiently intertwined as in pulp fiction. nor is the diner crucial to the action to at least two of the stories in the way the car crash was crucial in the four stories of amores perros. the quality of the individual stories varies. the hideout story is a cute idea and with a couple of good gags and but does not come off while and the rock star reunion is pointless and dull. on the other hand and the kidnap story is hilarious and although its connection to the diner is tenuous. the most balanced and successful story is the franck and suzie one. this film isn not entirely successful but has moments of interest and hilarity. i look forward to seeing more of writer or director samuel benchetrit work.
