Toute une Nuit (1982)

I think Toute une Nuit is my first Chantal Akerman movie. I was really into it. It's just a bunch of very short little stories about love and rejection and connection. We follow a whole bunch of different characters – some longer, some for only a few moments – and we get a portrait of a very vivid night, so much passion and so much confusion behind closed doors. One of the pairs of lovers is even two men. It was a nice touch, and I liked this movie. There isn't a lot onto which one can really latch, though, and my companions were both bored. Oh well.
