Top Cast
Coup de Torchon left me cold, unmoved and uninvolved. All I could find to admire was the craftsmanship.
Coup de Torchon, which opens today at the Paris, has Mr. Tavernier's typical polish, which means it has much to recommend it. But however impressive the meticulousness and conviction on display here, or the performances Mr. Tavernier has elicited, Coup de Torchon seems strangely lacking in overall momentum and direction.
