The night of the 12th

A criminal case that keeps investigators and audiences hooked - awarded as the best French film 2023

In the homicide department, every investigator comes across a crime that he cannot solve and that haunts him. For Yohan, it is the murder of Clara, who is brutally murdered on the way home from a party. With his colleague Marceau, he investigates young and older men who had an affair with Clara. They could all have been the ones. The two inspectors are presented with a panorama of the abysses. What begins as a thorough investigation into the victim's life soon develops into an obsession for the officer. One interrogation follows the other, there are many suspects, but the investigators are always led on the wrong track by false statements and lies. The only thing that is certain: the crime happened on the night of the 12th.

"The film never lacks suspense. This is due to the dense staging, the precise dialogues and the actors, especially Bouli Lanners in the role of the tough guy with the soul of a poet.» NZZ

«La Nuit du 12 is a highlight of the cinema year so far. Director Moll has created a film that meets expectations of the genre, appeals emotionally and is more than just the sum of its parts. The crime film is rarely so intense and profound.» filmkult.ch
