Synopsis
Coup De Torchon is a 1981 French satirical neo-noir dark comedy crime film directed by Bertrand Tavernier and adapted from American author Jim Thompson's 1964 crime novel Pop. 1280. Starred by Philippe Noiret, Isabelle Huppert and Jean-Pierre Marielle. The film tells the story of a lazy, useless and disrespected police chief who becomes a cold-blooded killer and goes on a killing spree of local "villains" to "clean" his corrupt town and gain respect, reputation and honor. The film changes the novel's setting from an American Southern town to a small town in French West Africa.
