Winner of seven César (French Oscar) Awards, including Best Film and Best Director, Dominik Moll’s police procedural is a weighty, compelling whodunnit which builds up a devastating picture of widespread misogyny. A young woman in a small town is attacked and set alight on her way home from a late night party. It’s the first case Yohan Vives (Bastien Bouillon) has tackled since he was promoted. But the crime scene provides precious few clues, and the more he finds out about the sexually promiscuous victim, the wider the field of suspects.
Based on a true crime book, The Night of the 12th is a modern movie classic on a par with Zodiac and Memories of Murder.
A deft and satisfying police procedural in command of its unusual tone, The Night of the 12th is perfectly cast and constructed with quietly thrilling rigour.
