question abotu the ending****MAJOR SPOILERS**
Are they all dead?
shareyes, they are, he comitted suicide, the job of the police is to make him realize this, thats why at the end you see another guy in the same spot depardieu was. great movie, didnt expected the ending at all.
sharePresumably in the morning when Onoff is driven away he is - in common with many people of various faiths recollection of their near death experience - 'going into the light' and properly passing over.
I agree - didn't expect the ending either!
