EAT THE NIGHT

Caroline Poggi & Jonathan Vinel

France 2024 107 min french
Tandem films

Pablo and his sister Apolline escape from their daily lives by playing Darknoon, a video game that saw them grow up. One day, Pablo meets Night, whom he introduces to his little deals, and moves away from Apolline. As the end of the game approaches, the two boys provoke the anger of a rival gang… 

In Eat The Night, the interweaving of the real and the virtual succeeds in amplifying the humanity of the characters, giving birth to a hyper-contemporary romanticism. An apocalyptic film, about the inevitable end of childhood, where true love emerges behind the pixels of an impressive video game, expressly designed for the film.

The film features some scenes that may trigger the sensibilities of the audience.
