Just After Midnight

Suzanne is a young, blind teacher. Within a small community of the visually impaired, she assiduously follows a course in art history devoted to the erotology of Satan and to witches. Transformed, Suzanne tries to steal a man's eyes in order to get her sight back. The failure of her first attempt leads her to more easily approachable and impressionable prey, her personal reader, Pierre, who is madly in love with her.

Directed by Anne-Marie Puga, Jean-Raymond Garcia, Just After Midnight leans on a strong ensemble — India Hair, Rémi Taffanel, Melchior Derouet — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about fantasy titles of 2017.
