“You answered my questions and will not be executed.” This confirmation from his Nazi interrogator comes back to haunt Michel Jussieu’s (Maurice Ronet) postwar mind in Jacques Doniol-Valcroze’s La Dénonciation (US: The Immoral Moment). A film producer who had been part of the French Resistance 15 years earlier, Jussieu is confronted anew by his lingering shame while being interrogated by chief inspector Malterer (Sacha Pitoëff) for a random, unrelated crime: when returning to the Play-Boy strip club late one night to retrieve his sweater, Jussieu stumbles onto a corpse, which will soon be revealed as a right-wing journalist, and catches glimpse of a mysterious woman just before being knocked out by a blow to the head. Instead of fully cooperating with Malterer, Jussieu seeks his own retribution by investigating the circumstances, which includes befriending the club’s marquee act, Eléonore Germain (Nicole Berger), who resembles the woman from his memory. Jussieu’s loyal, perfect wife Elsa (Françoise Brion), the daughter of a high-profile government minister, grows increasingly concerned for her husband’s safety, especially after he begins receiving anonymous death threats warning him not to talk. One of the original founders of French film journal Cahiers du Cinéma, director Doniol-Valcroze deftly weaves through time, moving from wartime flashbacks to the present day to scenes from Jussieu’s current film in production (“There is no past; there is only the present and this uncertain future”), contributing one of the few overtly political films of the French New Wave.
