Une nuit rêvée pour un poisson banal is quite the oddity from 1980. It unfolds in the confined space of an elevator, capturing a slice of life with a group of young adults just chatting away. The dialogue-driven nature gives it this almost claustrophobic feel, yet there's a certain charm that emerges from their banter. Themes of existentialism creep in, with each character's perspective offering a different shade of human experience. The pacing is leisurely, which might not suit everyone, but it allows for deeper contemplation. It’s shot in a grainy style that enhances the rawness of their conversations, almost like a document of a fleeting moment. The performances, while perhaps not the most polished, carry a genuine sense of youth and uncertainty that makes it distinctive.
