Nightfall was one of the most beautiful, complex, and disturbing films I have ever seen. I was very impressed and seduced by the atmosphere of the film, its despairing (but at times uplifting) tone, contemplative pacing, and sordid mise en scène. For me, it subtly evokes the drama, artifice, and violence of Fassbinder’s Querelle or David Lynch’s films but moves beyond any easy comparisons or narrative / genre expectations. It truly lays bare the bruised glamour, visceral violence, and unexpected tenderness of urban desolation / alienation. I’ ve never seen a narrative so masterfully unfold through systematic long takes, and I really submitted myself to the visual and narrative wanderings of Kelemen’s camera. I consider it a devastating, tender, and sublime masterpiece.
