    Another new film I loved, Dominic Moll’s ‘The Night of the 12th’ (2022/23), which inverts the police procedural and frames it as a series of bureaucratic dead ends.

    #TweetClubNoir there is a true crime French movie on Film4 next Wednesday 7th May at 9pm. It’s called ‘La Nuit du 12’ or ‘The Night of the 12th’. I saw the trailer earlier and it looked interesting. I do have an idea… if watching it ‘live’ doesn’t appeal… we could all stream at a better time?

    Dominik Moll's #thenightofthe12th embodies the stale imagination and creative dogmas of modern French cinema through its technical strengths as much as its conceptual flaws. No wonder it won the #César for Best Film. letterboxd.com/thomasricard...

    As I wrote the other day, I'm looking to catch up on French cinema from the past decade, and I started with this, The Night of the 12th, and loved it -- and I'm now a fan of the director, Dominik Moll, as well. Terrific film. letterboxd.com/jeansnow/fil... #filmsky

    Police procedural about finding the killer of a woman burned alive The film was based on the case of Maud Maréchal, whose corpse was found in 2013 in Lagny-sur-Marne, a suburb east of Paris. This fictional version transports events a few years later to the capital of the French Alps, Grenoble in southeast France, and the ski resort town 65 miles east of there, Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, which is where the crime occurs. The film was also shot in these locations. It’s reminiscent of Euro detective…

    Have you seen the Spanish movie Marshland from 2017? If not, it is hands down one of the best police procedurals I have ever watched and has a texture very similar to the first season of True Detective. Man, is it good. Also, The Night of the 12th from France. Two exceptional flicks.

    👁️‍🗨️ "An ambiguity & exploration of grey areas ideally served by an excellent Bastien Bouillon who, since his rise to fame with The Night of the 12th, demonstrates in each #film the full range of his talents as a shape-shifter." - Read the review of Nathalie Najem's No Way Back: cineuropa.org/481416

  • CinemaSerf @Geronimo1967TMDB reviews · Apr 1, 2023

    This is a fictional interpretation of an actual crime that sees newly promoted "Vivés" (Bastien Bouillon) take his team of Grenoble detectives to a small town to investigate a grisly murder. Walking home from a friend's house the previous morning, "Clara" (Lula Cotton-Frapier) is confronted by a stranger who throws a combustible liquid over her and then sets her alight. What the Police Justiciare have to work with is a ghastly sight. Their investigations quickly reveal no shortage of potential…

    “The main challenge was to develop the characters and especially that of Yohan, combined with raising the subject of male violence against women without making it too theoretical or a feminist statement and more woven into the fiction." - Dominik Moll on his latest crime thriller The Night Of The 12th https://www.eyeforfilm.co.uk/feature/2023-02-08-director-dominik-moll-finds-menace-in-the-mountains-in-the-night-of-the-12th-feature-story-by-richard-mowe #GFF23 #TheNightOfThe12th #film #Cesars…
