Nocturna - The Great Old Man's Night

About This Movie

Nocturna - The Great Old Man's Night is an interesting blend of drama and horror that plays with the fragility of memory and the weight of guilt. It’s about Ulysses, a centenarian who’s facing his last hours and is really grappling with his past. The atmosphere is bleak yet oddly captivating, with a pacing that feels meditative but eerie. There’s a rawness to the practical effects that ground the supernatural elements in a real sense of dread. Ulysses’ descent into confusion brought on by senile dementia is portrayed with a delicateness that makes it haunting. The film invites you to reconsider how we perceive reality and the ghosts we carry, though it doesn’t shy away from the darker corners of the human psyche.
