Une pure formalité

Night. Rain slicking the cobblestones. A scream. Famous novelist Onoff, fugitive from fame, brought in for questioning. An isolated police station, somewhere out of time. A long night of interrogation, a dead body, and a truth stranger than fiction. Tornatore's Euro-thriller anticipates the puzzle-box era.
