Toute une nuit

One of the most beautiful and moving films by master Chantal Akerman, this tragicomedy of human connection and alienation unfolds over the course of one night in Brussels. Largely forgoing dialogue in favor of richly evocative sound design, Akerman cuts back and forth among dozens of couples in the midst of romantic encounters, reconciliations, and break-ups. The result is this funny, poignant portrait of desire in all its forms, set against the backdrop of Akerman’s beautifully inky, Edward Hopper-esque night-world.
