Un coup de feu dans la nuit

1916 · 35 min
5.0 / 10 · TMDB

A gunshot shatters the Parisian night in a dimly lit alleyway. A man in a worn overcoat collapses onto the cobblestones as his assailant vanishes into the fog. Inspector Leblanc, a man of meticulous logic, is assigned the case, finding himself entangled in a web of deceit and unreliable witnesses. Each clue brings him closer to the truth, yet simultaneously deepens the mystery. The investigation winds through smoky cafés, the banks of the Seine, and bohemian artist studios, where creativity masks darker motives. The narrative exists at the intersection of police procedural and psychological drama, concerned as much with the 'why' as the 'who'.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

A rare surviving work from early French cinema, it displays a narrative sophistication ahead of its time. The director expertly employs shadows and silent-era acting to build palpable tension.

What lingers after the final reel is a sense of moral unease, a world where justice provides little solace. The film remains a compelling study of guilt and chance. — MovieFinder Editorial
