A Stormy Night

The conversations the 2 protagonists (around 40 - 45 minutes) raise the script above an amateur level.

Plus all the actors are convincing in their characters's portrayals. 👌 Filmed in a crisp/focused B & W adds an effective atmosphere to the story.

Deep and heartbreaking. I loved everything about this movie. The acting, the dialogs etc. Especially the fact that it was filmed in black and white, something that projects the overall feeling of the movie. I would totally recommend it.

Some people are not used to watch plays and this huis-clos, is close to it. So I get that some didn't like it, or stopped watching it early, that's not a reason to say it's bad. It's a type of story that lets you identify, think, dream. Who's not in one of the side of this line there is between them ?

They are absolutely opposite in nearly all matters you could think of. Even on cooking or how to go out buy as stuff under the rain, love versus sex, and so many other things I won't tell not to spoil it.

That is the whole point of the movie. I did, as surely anyone watching it, focused on when or will it even or should it ... happen. What can possibly happen between those two persons ?

But the exchange was full of understandings and, and what else ? Well life... Life...

I kind of liked the use of black and white, it kept me focused on the "action".

This nice little movie is like a novel to read away from home. I guess a 5.1 surround mix should have given more depth, too bad.

Two strangers meet during a stormy night thanks to a mutual friend. One is a film maker from Spain on is way to a festival in California that is showing his documentary. The other works from home on a dating app, a gay dating app, and hosts the filmmaker on his unscheduled layover in NYC/Brooklyn.

An intimate film, a character study of two strangers whose brief encounter changes both their lives, not in big dramatic terms but sufficiently that one feels both have grown in small but discernible ways thanks to the encounter.

The black and white cinematography feels appropriate and reminds one of character driven European films of the 50s and 60s. There is a graduate student feel to the film (thesis project), some stilted dialogue, and wish there had been more clarity and development in the characters. But given the obvious budget restraints, the sensitivity to the subject, and the charm and ease of David Moragas as actor, I'd say it's an auspicious beginning.

If you don't need car crashes and sex but enjoy the subtle and more lyrical character study, you'll appreciate the work here.

This movie was surprising. Sexual tension and good dialogue make for a few tense moments. Each person has their own level of morality. It's good to see this open discussion.
