Copenhagen nights are not only rainy, but dangerous as well. A serial killer stalks his prey. A curious motif links the murders: at the moment of crime, the same melody is always heard. The threads of the case lead to the melancholic cabaret singer Odette Margot, but this time the mistress of doom is herself in danger. Brilliant characterizations, goosebump moments and the eternal question: how far are we in control of ourselves? Sinister Nordic film noir from a female director, Bodil Ipsen, whose oeuvre had an impact on generations of filmmakers.
The screening will be introduced by Boronyák Rita, a researcher and archivist at the NFI Archives.

Henri Verneuil’s stylish film noir follows a recently released gangster preparing for his last big hit: turning over the Palm Beach casino in Cannes. The plan is flawless, everything rests on his partners in crime. Two legends on the screen together: the reserved, calm stoic and the gritty, irrepressible predator – Gabin and Delon. Côte d’Azur, cool shades, half-smoked cigarettes, ice blue, piercing stares… and the final job – elegance, silence, perfection.
