Miguel was obsessed with recording sounds. The silence in an empty church, the sound of a train, his dreams. And now his recordings are everything his young group of friends and ex-girlfriends have left of him. After his suicide, they meet on a farm in Argentina’s dense forests to pack his things. Leonardo Brzezicki’s hypnotic fever dream of a film, whose hauntingly beautiful images throw a surreal glow on the pale bodies, which restlessly stray around in the densely grown nature in search of a form of (at least sexual) redemption, which refuses to materialise. Gloomy and lingering, romantic and fatal. “Night“ is a total sensory experience with a phenomenal soundtrack, which creeps in on you from all sides. A transcendental film of the rare kind that is meant to be seen in the dark space of the cinema.
