I Hired a Contract Killer
Directed by Aki Kaurismäki · starring Jean-Pierre Léaud, Angela Walsh and Joe Strummer
Synopsis
After fifteen years of service, Henri Boulanger is dismissed from his job. Impress and without wanting to live, he tries to commit suicide, but he can't do it, so he hires a hit man in a seedy bar to end his life at some unspecified time in the future, because he has no value to do it. But unexpectedly, he meets and falls in love with Margaret, a flower seller, which makes Henri realize that his life has some meaning, after all, and changes his mind and wants to continue living. But when he returns to the bar to cancel the contract, he discovers that it has been demolished, and there is no way he can get in touch with the killer. Now you must find him before he executes his macabre commission.
