About This Movie

Nattbok is this intriguing documentary that presents a day in the life of Paris, filtered through the eyes of a sanitation worker. It’s not your typical Parisian love story; instead, we get a raw and unvarnished look at the city’s underbelly. The pacing feels almost meditative, as it lingers on the mundane yet vital task of keeping the streets clean, giving you a sense of respect for the often overlooked labor that sustains urban life. The atmosphere is both gritty and poetic, capturing the essence of the city at dawn and dusk. It’s a bit rough around the edges, but that’s part of its charm. You can sense the passion behind the camera, despite the anonymity of the director. A unique perspective, for sure.
