NIGHT AT THE CROSSROADS (aka La Nuit du Carrefour)

A diamond merchant is found dead, murdered, inside a car near a gloomy, muddy, foggy French crossroads. Nearby lays a villa, a broken down garage & gas station, and a house next to it. A one-eyed Dane and his slatternly sister are the initial suspects, but with the arrival of the great French inspector Maigret, it becomes clear that far more is going on than a simple case of murder. Incredibly atmospheric, with much of the footage shot at night. You can almost feel the fog seeping in. French, subtitled in English. 35mm.
