- Synopsis:
- When a referee calls a penalty that causes a French football team to crash out of the championship, their ultra-dedicated hooligan fans vow to track him down and murder him by the end of the evening, as Inspector Granowski (played by director Jean-Pierre Mocky) attempts to stem the carnage. With an unrelenting one-night narrative recalling 'After Hours' and 'Green Room', 'Kill the Referee!' mixes black humour with horror as its escalating sense of dread builds toward a shattering climax.
