Coup de Torchon

Film Description

Bertrand Tavernier's gleefully cynical adaptation of Jim Thompson's pulp thriller Pop. 1280 relocates the action from North Carolina to colonial-era Senegal and stars the great Philippe Noiret as the local French policeman, corrupt and ineffective, who after a lifetime of indolent boredom, decides to wipe the slate clean and start killing off his enemies.
