Bertrand Tavernier tranforms Jim Thompson's pulp novel Pop. 1280 into an engrossing and unsettling meditation on moral collapse. Arguably his best thriller, the French director transposes the story from the American South of the 1910s to colonial West Africa of the 1930s, where the very first black slaves entered the New World. Philippe Noiret plays a bumbling police chief who's the butt of ridicule in the corrupt town, with an abusive wife (Isabelle Huppert) who cheats on him and laughs in his face. But Noiret reaches a point of quiet madness, slowly getting his revenge by going on a killing spree. The subdued actor is at his best here, adopting a goofy attitude that works to his benefit when no one suspects him of the diabolical murders. A great subversive film enhanced by Philippe Sarde's jazzy score and wild camera movements intended to be out of sync with the action. --Bill Desowitz

Customer Reviews of Coup de Torchon (Clean Slate)

An excellent but difficult film - Coup de Torchon
Philippe Noiret's character, quintessentially French, sardonic, funny and witty is sometimes overwhelmed by the pace and setting of this film. The underlying themes and metaphors ultimately, if uneasily, resolve but the hugely funny slapstick elements superimposed on the murderous mayhem is a difficult balance.


Chilling, Funny Neo-Noir Masterpiece
This is the film version of Jim Thompson's dark comedy "Pop. 1280" transplanted from Texas to French-colonial Africa. Noiret is the secretly-smart sherriff who slowly goes insane from the brutality and backwardness of the life he is forced to endure. Huppert is dang sexy as the woman who helps triggers the violence. Brilliant film switches back and forth from dark humor to horror: it keeps you guessing and on edge. Yes, you could say it is a mix of Kafka, Beckett, and good old-fashioned American madness, with a Gallic accent. Over the years this sly but scarifying movie has become one of my favorites.


best movie in the world
just as in Shakespeare, everybody dies, and we are very happy about it. Noiret and Eddy Mitchel are excellent, disturbing
