Description
A meek, put-upon constable in 1930s French West Africa discovers that murder is an effective solution to his many problems. Bertrand Tavernier's audacious transposition of Jim Thompson's Pop. 1280 to colonial Africa transforms the source novel's pulp nihilism into a devastating satire of colonialism and impunity, with an extraordinary performance from Philippe Noiret.
