Toute une nuit (A whole night) | Belgium 1983 | D+D: Chantal Akerman | C: Caroline Champetier | With: Tchéky Karyo, Aurore Clément, Natalia Akerman Véronique Alain, Hilde van Mieghem | 90 min | OmeU | Akerman follows a multitude of characters through a warm summer night in Brussels. Encounters, touching, conversations, farewells, dancing, sleeping, phone calls, eating and drinking. The city is "too hot to sleep, but not too hot to dream, Brussels as a democratic center of longing with children and old people and straight people and queers and locals and immigrants, all part of the nocturnal, plaintive murmur." (Fernando F. Croce) "In her midsummer night sex comedy, Akerman uses her minimalist technique to create a maximalist ode to romantic passion and unabashed melodrama. TOUTE UNE NUIT combines the pleasure of storytelling with the purism of the avant-garde to create the most accessible of all her films." (eyefilm)
