A sultry summer night in Brussels. As the city settles down from the day’s hustle, loneliness, desire, and chance encounters quietly roam through streets, hotel rooms, and phone booths.
In this film, rhythmically edited like a dance, Chantal Akerman speaks not through dialogues but through bodies, glances, and the texture of the night. Characters do not intersect but share a common emotion—leaving, waiting, searching, finding, or losing. With time giving way to feelings, the film becomes a powerful mosaic of countless stories unfolding over a single night.
The film was restored by the Royal Film Archive of Belgium (CINEMATEK), Fondation Chantal Akerman, and Amazing Studios (Paris).
Screened with the support of Fondation Chantal Akerman.
As the New Year approaches, Pera Film presents an alternative watchlist of 10 movies, ranging from Hollywood's timeless classics to memorable examples of modern cinema.
In 1493, exactly 500 years ago, Leonardo da Vinci was finishing the preparations for casting the equestrian monument (4 times life size), which Ludovico il Moro, Duke of Milan commissioned in memory of his father some 12 years earlier.
The New Year is more than just a date change on the calendar. It often marks a turning point where the weight of past experiences is felt or the uncertainty of the future is faced. This season, Pera Film highlights films that delve into themes of hope, regret, nostalgia, and new beginnings.
