Au poste! (2018)
Police officers at a station must solve a murder case.
Madcap, nearly surrealist comedy surprises with swift absurd twists and is sometimes hilariously funny, but sometimes a bit irritating as well.

Nuit et brouillard (1956)
The history of Nazi Germany's death camps of the Final Solution and the hellish world of dehumanization and death contained inside.
(Meanwhile)
classic, important early documentary is a solemn, thoughtful and
stirring depiction of the Nazis, presenting shocking footage that (at
the time) was largely not yet realized by its audience.
Halliwell*: "An official film of great dignity."
