NUIT #1

101 min | NR
At least three stars are born in the sizzling French Canadian film NUIT #1, which won audience raves at the Toronto Film Festival. Not the least of the trio is first time feature director Anne Emonds, who follows a one night stand evolving into a potentially longterm relationship. She explores the transition with candor, psychological probity and emotional dignity. Emonds’ directing style resembles dance movements ranging from sweeping balletic nuances to rave–inspired romps, and her two radiant stars, Catherine de Lean and Dimitri Storoge, exquisitely capture the hesitation and hopefulness of two single players who long for something more enduring.
