Watch The Night of the 12th trailer

In the corridors of the criminal police, it is said that all the investigators have a crime that haunts them. For young and ambitious Captain Vivés played by Bastien Bouillon, who has just been appointed group leader at the Grenoble Criminal Squad, it is the murder of Clara Royer played by Lula Cotton-Frapier.

Reviews:

Rotten Tomatoes: 94%  “A grim, well-crafted thriller, The Night of the 12th takes a finely layered look at the toxic ripple effect of violence.”

Roger Ebert:  “There’s a horrifying murder, a baffled police force, multiple potential suspects. It’s loosely based on a real unsolved case, detailed in Pauline Guéna’s book 18.3 – A Year With the Crime Squad. But there’s more going on here than meets the eye. “The Night of the 12th” runs deep. The film’s effectiveness lies in its matter-of-fact surface and its roiling wordless interior, the stealthy way it makes its points (without announcing “This is The Point”).”
