My Night
Directed by Antoinette Boulat
Marion is 18 years old. Filled with grief since the loss of her sister, she has reached an age where she feels a vital need for freedom. One night, she embarks on a ride through the streets of Paris. What follows is an evening of encounters until Marion meets the impulsive and free-spirited Alex. Like a reunion of two lonely souls, their path will evolve into a rhythm of wandering in a city that youth no longer relates to, like a journey into the night.

“My Night is a highly atypical film which seeks to capture and reproduce moving and paradoxical ground of a psychological and geographical nature.” CINEUROPA
“Boulat’s first film worms its way into the brain through its strong characterization and firm directorial hand.” INTERNATIONAL CINEPHILE SOCIETY
“(This is) a surprisingly poignant film about loss, anxiety, dealing with toxic masculinity, and regaining one’s freedom. A film like only the French can make, existential questions abound as a random encounter with a charming oddball makes a young girl finally break free from the death of her sister in a night-long odyssey through Paris.” INTERNATIONAL CINEPHILE SOCIETY
“Boulat's film swiftly turns into a wonderfully balanced and tentative drama with two brilliant central performances and a touching thought on grief.” Jack Luk Sharp -
