While it doesn't all 'work', this is a more interesting partial failure than most people's complete successes.
An oddball mix of thriller, character study and very quirky comedy. It follows two parallel stories that finally intersect.
a) The unlikely, ultimately homo-erotic friendship between a small time con-man/drifter (Jean- Louis Trintignant), and the semi-retarded wanderer he meets on the road (Mathieu Kassovitz).
and b) a man's mid-life crisis when a cop friend is shot and left brain dead, leading him to give up everything, work, marriage, to try and find meaning in his life by finding the killers.
There are leaps of logic, but some very nice character moments as well. I liked it even better on 2nd viewing.
