LA PREMIÈRE NUIT

Georges Franju
1957 France 19 minutes No dialogue

The story of a double night: one in the metro’s labyrinth, the other the dream of a love-struck youngster. The deep blacks of Eugen Schufftan, before he photographed Head Against the Wall and Eyes Without a Face.

“The unexpected lies in situations: it is not created, but revealed.” (Georges Franju)
