05/16/2020 Sorry. It is too weird beyond my comprehension. See more 06/17/2017 Like every student film you don't want to see, written by adolescents for their pseudo intellectual peers, just embarrassing from start to finish. See more 12/02/2014 A couple and their transvestite maid host an orgy of unnamed strangers. During the party, the group learn about eachothers lives and form a brief and intimate bond. This film is quite navel gazing in its hipsterdom, but what it actually is is a pervy dark love letter to John Hughes's The Breakfast Club. Each guest is named from a trope; The Stud; The Whore; The Star; The teen. There is even a scene towards the end that is a direct correlation. This is nothing as good as The Breakfast Club though. Tres Francais. Ennui central. It actually has more in common with the like of Derek Jarman and Peter Greenaway. Very poetic in language and gorgeously shot. Some elements of 70s European horror too. To be honest I watched for the Eric Cantona full frontal. Turned out to be prosthetic. He has an odd and brief BDSM scene with Beatrice Dalle. The sexy party promised didn't materialise though, but it was an oddly beautiful film. An acquired taste. Very acquired. See more 11/21/2014 Fun throwback to the sort of 70s softcore Europorn films that would end up in cut and dubbed versions on late-night cable TV stations in the 80s and 90s. Narratively it doesn't add up to much, but fans of old-fashioned erotic cinema will have a better chance of enjoying this than the average viewer. See more 11/12/2014 A strange brew. A mystical couple and their maid host a gathering of nameless souls to indulge in an orgy that turns into a group therapy session. Lots of surreal images, a little bit of skin, here and there, with a healthy dose of male full-frontal nudity and a sad group of characters made this a difficult film to process. But in spite of that, this viewer found it quite interesting. It is slow moving, but full of rich visuals. The dialog seemed a bit pretentious, but, as I am not a francophone, I do not know if that was the fault of the script or the subtitles. A typical ambiguous French ending. Will he, or won't he? See more 10/08/2014 Full feature film debut from writer/director Yann Gonzalez. Set over one night, the film tracks the pasts and presents of an orgy's invited guests. The hosts are a young couple and their queer man maid, revealed to have quasi vampire immortality kept alive by endless sex. Their guests, a handful of sexual archetypes, must reveal their 'misadventures' before the party begins. This bizarre, erotic oddity, with its abstract narrative, minimal nudity and electro score, explores the fantastical back stories of its horny cast of characters, increasingly becoming trippy and dreamlike. Somewhere between art house and farce, You And The Night suggest a new Pedro Almodovar and gay cinema darling. See more Read all reviews
