Whatever the film is, it’s intently and undeniably cinematic. And throughout, there’s music, there’s ecstatic experience, and there’s Marczak’s unstoppable camera navigating it all. They go to parties, they get drunk, they end and start relationships, they seem to know what they want and then seem without a clue, sometimes from one scene to the next. It follows two young men-the lithe, chiseled-cheeked Krzysztof, and matinee idol handsome Michal (not the filmmaker)-as they tour the nightlife and everyday trials of young adulthood in Warsaw. Too engaged, interactive, and borderline invasive to be an observational film, but also too spontaneous, in-the-moment reactive, and variously naked to be a work of fiction, All These Sleepless Nights stakes out its own cinematic terrain.
#ALL THESE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS IN THEATERS MOVIE#
Welcome to the world of All These Sleepless Nights, the latest film from Polish director Michal Marczak ( Fuck For Forest).īoldly programmed in the World Documentary Competition at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival, the movie is unlike any other work of nonfiction you’ve seen. The camera is a participant, dancing with its subjects, trying to register each shade of their emotions. The music pounds, young people flirt and dance and mope and opine, and the camera swings all around them, doing more than just watch. The following interview was originally published during the film’s premiere at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival.
All These Sleepless Nights opens Friday, April 7, at the Nuart Theatre in Los Angeles before expanding throughout the country.
