Coup de torchon is a great black comedy. Tavernier exchanges Thompson's American South setting w/ French colonial Africa where corrupt, racist authorities & swindlers, pimps & whores inhabit side by side, laissez-faire style. Lucien is a sheriff and has a nagging wife & her creepy brother/lover living w/ them. He is seeing a married woman. He is goofy. And there’s no indication of his murderous intentions for dubious characters around him. #bertrandtavernier #philippenoiret #isabellehuppert
