After Dark

About This Movie

After Dark, directed by Josh Berman, is an intriguing documentary that really leans into the mysterious beauty of the night. The way it captures various landscapes – whether it’s the eerie woods of Japan or the haunting streets of Moscow – really sets a moody tone. You feel the weight of night closing in, and the pacing allows you to linger in those moments, almost meditative at times. The practical effects blend seamlessly into the natural world, enhancing the dreamlike quality. It’s all about exploring the subconscious, and each scene feels like a meditation on what darkness brings – fear, wonder, a sense of the unknown. It’s distinctive in its approach to storytelling, taking us places that are more felt than seen.
