Jean-Pierre Mocky's Agent Trouble suggests that «the authorities» in collusion with a water company simply murder a busload of tourists to hush up the accidental contamination of the drinking water in the Alsace region. This proposition is worked out in the form of a thriller with a passer-by who discovers a bus full of corpses and, intrigued by the television news bulletin which gives a false account of the event, sets out to try and make money out of his discovery. His is shot by a mysterious agent of the state but his aunt (Catherine Deneuve wearing a red wig and glasses) continues the investigation with the help of her ex-lover. She survives only because the killer has a heart attack while pursuing her through the snow-covered mountains. (Viennale)
