Jigsaw (French: L'Homme en colère) is a 1979 Canadian-French drama film directed by Claude Pinoteau and starring Lino Ventura and Angie Dickinson.
Ventura later said of the film, "The story had problems. They were not worked out. It is easy to say, the story is everything, it must be good. But then you ask, 'What is a good story?' and I must say to you, that is one of the mysteries of the cinema."
The film's main topic is identity theft. A retired pilot is informed that his son was killed by the police. When called to examine the body, he realizes that a complete stranger was impersonating his son and using his son's passport. The father goes in search of his missing son.
