Description
 
The first feature from Belgian director Olivier Smolders is this haunting and mystifying psycho-drama, featuring a visual style adopted from the Expressionists and a dreamscape befitting Lynch. Our protagonist, Oscar (Fabrice Rodriguez), spends his days studying and filing away insects in a grotesquely boring museum. And by "day," we really mean night, since the sun only shines for 15 seconds in this world. When Oscar returns home from work, he discovers an ailing (and naked) South African woman in his bed. She has come there to die, and her presence starts Oscar down a slippery slope into his subconscious. "Black Night envelops rather than illuminates the viewer" (Variety). In French with English subtitles.
