One Night Movie Review

How long you can continue to look for yourself?

In the silent night on the town died suddenly heard screams cold deserted. From the balcony to call a man or terminated if they are not going to call the police. Then silence again. But do not rest, because a little later found a woman dead in the stairwell of an apartment complex. Cries in the night was his final appeal of death. Has anyone seen or heard of the resort? All 38 residents but also denied having heard anything. But then there are cracks in the veneer to maintain the appearance and cracked the pump.

dilemma
38 Témoins Director Lucas Belvaux put a movie that shows an interesting moral dilemma: if you as an individual prepared to think not only in itself but also for the interests of others. As the viewer is loaded with the first question why everyone looks the other way and ignore the crimes. Is ignorance, fear of retaliation from the aggressor, or just selfish? This question is open Belvaux stated in the film, in the person of a journalist who follows the critical case and the moral conscience movie seems. He faced the population with their behavior and how they remain close to each other.

evil
With this premise, the film is a thriller and psychological drama. Voltage is amplified by something evil environment of raw port, where at night no one should be looking through the deserted streets and docks. The drama is also reflected in the cold apartment has large windows overlooking the scene. The soundtrack comes, however subtle and layered scenario, where the couple first went to the police station surely contribute to this to this. This film will draw without trying to find the culprit. Only clear why there is nothing left that night decided to call the police. Collective response is not entirely credible.

conclusion
38 Témoins earlier this year the opening film is strong but accessed Rotterdam Film Festival. This film is a psychological thriller with drama. Belvaux Director provides an easy answer to this, but reveals how everything can be strong peer pressure. This makes you forgive director of operations impossible.
