SYNOPSIS
Nihilism, violence and personal degradation rule the day. Directed by PULP FICTION producer Roger Avary. American safe-cracker and ex-con Zed has just arrived in Paris where he and his childhood crony, Eric, are going to mastermind a huge Bastille Day heist. Before his scheduled rendezvous with Eric, Zed spends $200 for a night with Zoe, an angelic, nymph-like prostitute. But their post-coital morning is rudely interrupted by the arrival of Zed’s partner in crime, who treats Zoe like a disposable plastic doll. On the eve of Bastille Day, Zed finally realises his French connection doesn’t believe in advance planning. Instead, Eric and his fraternity of drug-addicted pinheads initiate a non-stop, pre-heist round of drinking, heroin-shooting and pill-popping. From the look of things, they may never pull this robbery off.
