Review of Nocturne (1980) by Richard C — 26 Jul 2009
An early Lars von Trier short that is infinitely atmospheric with eye-catching dark cinematography highlighting primary colors. The opening I recommend to all film students - it's stunning visually and auditory.
The story is about a woman with some sort of eye impediment; this of course relates to nocturnal animals and how they have eyes better suited for the night. I read that Lars von Trier has a fear of flying and this story is probably a channel for that.
Arty and visually gorgeous.
