Confidences of the Night (French: L'Amour blessé, lit. "Wounded Love") is a 1975 Canadian drama film written and directed by Jean Pierre Lefebvre. The film stars Louise Cuerrier as a lonely single woman who is spending her evening at home accompanied only by the voices of other people, such as a radio phone-in show and noise from the neighbours heard through the wall; the film's limited plot unfolds when she calls the radio show to talk about leaving her abusive ex-husband, only to then receive angry phone calls from him and his mother.
Cuerrier herself is the only cast member seen on screen in the film; the offscreen voices are provided by a cast including Gilles Proulx, Paule Baillargeon, Pierre Curzi, Frédérique Collin, Monique Mercure, Jean-Guy Moreau, Denise Morelle, Lise Demers and Guy Thauvette.
The film opened in theatres in October 1975. It was later screened out of competition at the 1976 Cannes Film Festival.
