"I'm not saying you're wrong, but I don't know if you're right."

Coup De Torchon (Clean Slate) (1981) is a brilliant adaptation of
Jim Thompson's 1964 novel
Pop. 1280 featuring a perfect performance by
Phillipe Noiret.
CDT transports the book's American Southern setting to French West Africa to comment on the violence, colonialism, and racism prevalent in the film's fictional small town, just prior to World War II, through the lens of the psychopathic lead character.
