FRANCE/ Cold-case drama The Night of the 12th has just swept the board at the Oscars in France and has the nation talking about misogyny and murder. We talk to its director, Dominik Moll, about how it made him question his place in the patriarchy.
At 6 am on a Tuesday in May 2013, the half-charred, petrol-doused body of a young woman was found on a residential street, 25km east of Paris. It was 21-year-old Maud Maréchal, who had been returning at night from a friend’s house to her family home, just a few meters from where she was killed. A neighbor discovered the corpse, the police fruitlessly investigated this horrific murder, and then Maréchal’s death was filed away, hardly noticed by the French press.
