My Film Recommendation #10 - Coup de Torchon - directed by - TopicsExpress



          

My Film Recommendation #10 - Coup de Torchon - directed by Bertrand Tavernier (1981) a study in amorality disguised as a sometimes shocking black comedy - Q Network Taverniers vision is brilliant. Truly a film of nihilism, even more awry by the jazzy score and jumpy camera revealing Noirets diminishing psychological state. The French African colony setting was a perfect for this translation. - Stefanie C. Thanks to Tavernier’s decision to shoot on location in and around St. Louis (Senegal) and use pale colors only, the film has a sun-baked, lethargic, quality to it that is unsettling from the outset. Coup de Torchon is often as hilarious as it is disturbing, with no pat resolution to the fundamental problem of how to maintain humanity in a world corrupted by the unequal power relations sanctioned by racism. - Alice Conklin youtu.be/LFJuojgVSAk
