Closer to you: Nuit Blanche, by Arev Manoukian


Many people happen to admire Arev Manoukian's short Nuit Blanche because of its aesthetics; and rightly so, as the film is visually stunning. But I must admit I was more interested in the idea that there is nothing that can keep two people apart when they desire to be together; nothing, but their own will. And I was pleased to find out that the film prefers to pose this concept in the form of a question, rather than provide any conventional answers. For those interested in the technical aspects there is also a 'making of' video; and for the record, the coffee shop depicted in the film is none other than the Parisian Café de Flore.
