The Night

About This Movie

So, The Night (2015) is a curious piece, really. It starts off with this almost mundane moment—like, waiting in line at Aldi, and suddenly you’re hit with nostalgia. The protagonist's thoughts drift to a past relationship, spurred by the sight of some cheap white sport socks. The editing is fascinating; it’s this patchwork of recycled footage originally shot for Kreidler's music videos. You can feel the experimental vibe throughout, it’s not your standard narrative flow. It just kind of meanders, punctuated by snippets that evoke feelings rather than tell a straightforward story. The atmosphere is both intimate and distant, layering on themes of memory and longing. It’s unique in a way that’s hard to pin down, but definitely worth a look for its artistry.
