Coup de Torchon
AroView: Mordantly humorous suspense set in dusty French Senegal, with Philippe Noiret playing a much-abused police chief who begins to have dreams of revenge.
Discovering that his stupefyingly passive outlook is the perfect cover for his crimes, he sets out on a curiously half-hearted journey into crime, amorality and religious delusion. Adapting Jim Thompson’s classic pulp novel ‘Pop. 1280’, this changes the setting but maintains the unusual air of psychosis.
English title: Clean Slate.
