Coup De Torchon (1981) An inspired rendering of Jim Thompson's pulp novel "Pop. 1280". Bertrand Tavernier deftly transplants the story of an inept police chief and his mistress (and his wife and her lover) from the American South to French West Africa. 1938, in a French african colony. Lucien Cordier is the cop of this village, populated with blacks and a few whites (usually racialist and lustful). He is a washout, everyone (including his wife Huguette) humiliates him. He never arrests anyone and looks at elsewhere when a dirty trick occurs. But one day, he turns into a machiavellian exterminating angel. Cast Philippe Noiret ... Lucien Cordier Isabelle Huppert ... Rose Mercaillou Jean-Pierre Marielle ... Le Peron et son frère L'adjudant Georges Le Peron Stéphane Audran ... Huguette Cordier Eddy Mitchell ... Nono - l'amant demeuré d'Huguette Guy Marchand ...

It certainly plays on my PC.

Thanks.
First heard of this from NYTimes 5/6/2010:
"...the Frenchman Bertrand Tavernier?s 1981 film
?Coup de Torchon,? an adaptation of the novel ?Pop. 1280,?
which many people, consider by far the greatest of the Thompson
movies. Now Michael Winterbottom, another
Englishman, hopes to join the list with his new
version of ?The Killer Inside Me,? which stars
Casey Affleck, Jessica Alba and Kate Hudson
and opens in theaters on June 18. 2010"

Love the film, any film with Noiret* in it really, so a big thank you catsatmat! The download takes a while though, can't wait to go to French colonial Africa and see my fellow white misfits at it.
*By the bye, have you seen Ferreri's 'La Grande Bouffe' (1973)?
