If you loved In the Electric Mist, try Coup de Torchon
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Bertrand Tavernier, and they sit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to In the Electric Mist, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

Here's a film that seems to ask: what if a cop was also a total loser? In French colonial Africa, a police chief snaps and begins murdering seemingly random people. The film's satire is broad, pitched somewhere between scorn and farce.
