From sunset to dawn over the course of a single summer night in Brussels, a variety of couples come together—or apart. Set to Italian pop hits of the eighties, this nearly wordless gem plays both like a perfectly choreographed extended dance piece and a deliriously woozy wander into the nocturnal heat, with entire relationships playing out in brief street-corner scenes.
In her first feature as solo director of photography and her only collaboration with the late, great Chantal Akerman, Caroline Champetier beautifully captures the sights and textures of a sultry summer night in the city.
