[quote="aguadilu"]I found this in karagarga and I'm sharing it in our beloved mule, it's "Toutes les nuits", Eugene Green's first film with English subtitles in a perfect dvdrip!! Long live the straubressonian apostles!!][/quote]
[quote]Green's first feature, the film's anarchic humor and incredible visual precision made it a hit in France and winner of the prestigious Delluc prize for Best First Feature. Based loosely on a Flaubert novella, the film charts the fate of two young men through the tumultuous 1960s and 70s. Close friends, their relationship is tested by the strains of distance and the introduction of a beautiful woman. Taking its title from a soaring, gorgeous motet by Baroque composer Clement Janequin, TOUTES LES NUITS is equally stirring, resulting in one of the most impressive debuts of the last decade.

To the frenzied and talky world of French auteur cinema, the films of Eugène Green are a vital reminder of just how radical simplicity can feel. "I think we're naturally inclined to have complicated thoughts," says the 58-year-old director, "so I've tried to create something pure, because simplicity has the strongest impact." Green's movies reduce cinematic aesthetics to an almost primordial level. Actors face the viewer, delivering the declarative dialogue in emotionless tones. Sometimes, the camera moves. By lowering our pulses, Green accomplishes what other directors usually work up a sweat trying to achieve: a direct window into the soul. As Green succinctly puts it, "I'm trying to take what is invisible in us and make it visible."
Green's influences are many and obvious—Bresson, Ozu, Eustache, Hou—but his main cultural touchstone isn't cinematic at all. Having devoted two decades to studying and producing baroque theater, Green has set about translating this 17th-century sensibility for a modern screen audience. "My interest in the baroque isn't historical, but rather as something living and contemporary," the director explains. "Someone who is 'baroque' can accept a rational and machine-like view of the world, while retaining a spiritual intuition."

"Toutes les nuits" est un objet inattendu, magnifique, un premier film rare, le film le plus beau et le plus étonnant de l'année, une pure merveille."
