Door-to-door salesman Franck Poupart is offered a teenage girl in exchange of his wares. He must return, and save her. Patrick Dewaere as Poupart in that bleak, frozen landscape is cast perfectly. His neurotic mannerisms result in a type of slapstick that is first funny, then painful, then harrowing to watch. Série noire (1979) is unforgettable.
