Un ancien footballeur français ruiné a perdu sa femme d’origine québécoise. Installé à Montréal dans l’espoir de ressentir sa présence, il regrette de ne pas lui avoir dit à quel point il l’aimait. Son humeur décline au point d’accepter d’abattre un certain Igor Rizzi… Souvent comparé à Fargo des frères Coen ou aux films de Jim Jarmush, Sur la trace d'Igor Rizzi est une réflexion sur le remords et la fuite du temps. Le personnage, qui a tout perdu après avoir connu la gloire et la facilité, est aux prises avec ses regrets. Pour surmonter son deuil, il doit trouver la réponse en lui-même, faire le point sur son passé et accomplir une quête morale. Le décor insolite de Montréal sous la neige sert à amplifier les sentiments de désarroi ressentis par le personnage, mais aussi à exalter la poésie de la vie.
A melancholy athlete trades football for a new life as a hit man in this black comedy. Jean-Marc Thomas (Laurent Lucas) was once a reasonably successful professional soccer player, but after his career took a tailspin Thomas's girlfriend committed suicide, which sent him into a deep depression. Thomas moved to his late girlfriend's hometown of Montreal, and twelve years later has left sports behind for a career as a small-time criminal, though he still insists on carrying his soccer ball with him most of the time. While Thomas and his partner Michel (Pierre-Luc Brilliant) have barely mastered the art of knocking over doughnut shops and empty houses, a low-level crime boss has approached Thomas and asked him to consider becoming a hired killer. Thomas reluctantly agrees even though he has no idea of how to use a gun, and begins trailing his first target through Montreal in mid-winter. Sur La Trace d'Igor Rizzi (aka On The Trail of Igor Rizzi was the first feature film from Toronto-based writer and director Noel Mitrani.
