The film"s page
Quelque part au Sénégal, une poignée de colons français se prélassent, bien à l’abri des événements qui secouent l’Europe à l’aube de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Parmi eux, Lucien, le shérif du comté a le plus grand mal à faire respecter son autorité.
Notes : Coup de torchon est une transposition dans l’univers coloniale du polar 1275 âmes de Jim Thompson paru en 1964. Deux ans auparavant, en 1979, son roman Des cliques et des cloaques (A Hell of a Woman), avait inspiré le film Série noire d’Alain Corneau, transposition de son univers à celui, cette fois, des banlieues parisiennes.
