What did he do with Michelle's body ?
If he called the cops he would hardly be getting a cab, they would need to question him at length.
Did he leave it by the riverside or put it in the garbage truck ?

Probably got in touch with the embassy doofuses (who knew both him and Michelle) and let them straighten it out.
shareWhen I saw the scene where the camera pans out from looking inside the garbage truck I thought they had put her body in there
shareStrange, last time I saw this film I was probably about 7 years old, and I really loved it back then. I just finished watching it again, and I remembered how I used to assume that they dumped her body in the garbage truck.... but now i'm not so sure, I can't imagine Walker would do that to her.
I remembered the ending of the film very vividly (In my head I said 'her shoe falls fall now' just before it happened), but this is down to the fact that when I was 7 years old I was very much in love with Emmanuelle Seigner (not much has changed, in that respect), and it broke my heart to see her killed....
The scene in a taxi takes place much later after Michelle's death.
Film starts with them arriving to Paris and we see them leaving at the end.
Not sure why the garbage truck is there at the end; Polanski sometimes puts crazy, pointless stuff like that in his movies.
Disregarding what happens to Michelle's body, however, the ending reminded me uncannily of the ending of De Pala's Blow Out. Both films have the same ending: the hero cradles the dead femme fatale in his arms and is left with a crushed last line. Travolta can do nothing left except use the "good scream" for his own commercial advantages, and Ford can do nothing left except tell his wife, "I love you, baby". Both great films from two of day's finest and most overlooked filmmaking masters.
