neutral · AI labelView post →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.

neutral · AI labelView post →#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?
neutral · AI labelView post →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...
negative · AI labelView post →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
positive · AI labelView post →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…
positive · AI labelView post →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.
positive · AI labelView post →👁️🗨️ "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
neutral · AI labelView post →Reminder for #TweetClubNoir that ‘The Night of the 12th’ is on Film 4 tonight at 9pm. That’s if you’re not glued to the news waiting for smoke to appear!
neutral · AI labelView post →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…
positive · AI labelView post →“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…
