Let The Corpses Tan — official trailer

What is Let The Corpses Tan about?

With a heavy haul of 250 kilograms of gold bullion, the grizzled criminal mastermind, Rhino, and his ruthless gang of cutthroats, head to a ramshackle retreat somewhere in the Mediterranean to lay low on a scorching day of July. However, the unexpected and rather unwelcome arrival of the bohemian writer, Bernier, his muse, Luce, along with a pair of no-joke gendarmes further complicates things, as the frail allegiances will soon be put to the test.

Let the Corpses Tan is a 2017 Belgian neo-western crime film written and directed by Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani, based on the novel Laissez bronzer les cadavres by Jean-Patrick Manchette and Jean-Pierre Bastid. The film follows a gang of thieves who, after obtaining 250 kg (550 lb) of stolen gold, arrive at the home of an artist who is caught in a love triangle. The situation quickly escalates into a day long gun fight between police and robbers.
