The Night of 12th

The listing I saw doesn't seem to match how F4 are describing it.

Seems it is based on a true story, and sadly is yet again about violence against women.

But for anyone interested or wants to tape for a later gap in their viewing timetable, so as to whizz throught the ads.

Amazing film set in the Alps, very harrowing, sad but also some amusing bits in it. Well worth watching. Highlights misogyny.

Its funny not sure how, but I thought it would be a bit like Spiral.

But it wasn't, but it was very good but so depressing in that it is based on a real life event.

As one of the young women in the film said when being questioned about what might have motivated the attack, and her reply was "because she was a girl. It is always that."

This looks good but depressing obv..haven't seen anything gritty for a while!

@IwantToRetire That comment was very emotive. The female judge said 'something is amiss between men and women' and Nadia, the female detective said ‘Men kill and police are men, odd, isn’t it?’ The way the unsolved case affected & haunted that policeman was also quite sad and moving.

I'll watch this. I thought the French series Sambre was very good.

It was very good. They're good at this. Agree Sambre was excellent too.
