Who killed that one person (Spoilers)


Who killed Alex's father, was it Alex?

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

We will never know. The sequence on the suicide/murder/accident is left unresolved. Carax made sure that the editing would leave it that way.

The police and newspapers believe that it was a suicide. Marc is convinced that Alex' father was murdered by one of the American's gangsmen (he might be right). In fact, how he died is not so important. What matters is that he is dead and Marc must now find someone for his next job: why not the son, Alex?

If you look carefully at that scene, Juliette Binoche can be seen in profile out of focus to the right... so Anna may have been there... but then it could have been her double

It took me a while but I just watched the movie again and noticed Binoche profiling behind the big guy (Boris?). Then the camera moves to the left and advances: Anna or "her double" could have done it?! Woah.

Isn't it Boris? I'm sure you see him on the right of the frame at some point. Also, on the other side of the platform, there's a guy who looks like Alex from Les Amants du Pont-Neuf (shaven head, similar costume, etc... obviously not the same actor).
