PDamn, I still live in Liège! It’s amazing to be here! Thank you, I love you, ”says Bouli Lanners, very happy to receive the César for best supporting role for his masterful incarnation as a cop in The night of 12. A few minutes before, it was Dominik Moll who was on stage, entering the closed circle of double Caesareans as best director. In the landscape of French cinema, Dominik Moll holds a special place. His first short film is inspired by a short story by Bukowski, his first feature by Jean-Paul Sartre. Then comes Harry, a friend who wishes you well, a fascinating thriller in competition at Cannes in 2000 and crowned with four César awards, including that of best director.

With The night of 12thriller brilliantly written, acted, directed, we are once once more at the heart.
