La Nuit a dévoré le monde
Dominique Rocher
Waking up that morning in that apartment, where just the night before the party had been going strong, Sam has to face the obvious: he is alone and the living dead have invaded the streets of Paris. He is terrified and will have to protect himself and get organised to survive. But is Sam really the only survivor?

Dominique Rocher has made several short films which have been broadcast on TV (Canal +, France 4, HD1) including Fallin' in 2009, Heures sup in 2011 and La Vitesse du passé also in 2011. Since 2016 he has been developing a mini-series for Arte, La Corde. La Nuit a dévoré le monde is his first feature.
“Making a film, particularly a first film, is a first step, an attempt to open up to others. The movement of the film gives the trajectory, when a man who always looks inwards on himself is led to open up to the other. All sorts of metaphors can be seen in that. To a large extent it is a mental film. Things are seen from the point of view of the man character: deep down, he takes other people for monsters. What happens is therefore consistent with his vision of the world. I wanted to put myself at the crossroads between a very intimate feeling, that a lot of us can identify with, and its supernatural representation by genre films” (Dominique Rocher).
