At Dawning

About This Movie

At Dawning is kind of an oddity, really. Jenny Agutter delivers this quirky performance as a woman trying to escape her one-night stand, which leads to this bizarre encounter with Yvan Attal's character who's contemplating the worst. The film dances between a screwball vibe and a deeper ethical quandary, which is an interesting clash. You get this peculiar mix of dark humor and poignant moments that just keeps you guessing. The pacing feels a bit off sometimes, but that adds to its charm. The practical effects are minimal, yet they enhance the odd reality the characters find themselves in, especially as dawn brings a surreal ending over London’s skyline.

At Dawning is one of those rare finds that collectors tend to stumble upon. It's not widely available, which makes it a bit of a gem. The movie has seen limited releases on DVD and digital formats, so if you're lucky enough to find a copy, it's worth holding onto. Its unconventional approach and blend of genres make it a fascinating discussion piece among collectors who appreciate those quirky, lesser-known films.
