 'Nuit D'or' (aka) Golden Night (1976) - Serge Moati.



'Nuit D'or' (aka) Golden Night (1976) is an oblique, classy neo-noir nightmare confection, replete with a svelte, swivel-eyed, deranged Klaus Kinski prowling the shadowy city streets on an enigmatic, ostensible mission of vengeance; Is he dead? Is he innocent? Who knows? (the writer didn't!) This delightful, and highly stylized film is an enigma, wrapped inside of a cinematic conundrum, and all the better for it! Visually the film is profoundly striking, sharing many similarities with the vintage Gialli of Mario Bava; or the deep, chiaroscuro palate of early Fritz Lang. (To be fair, there is a definite grim sensibility of his 'M' crawling through this playful and surreal bacchanal)


'I 'aint even dead, she's one Cosplay away from the funny farm!'

'Usually I just weird people to death, but today I'm gonna brown bread ya' with lead!' 

'I hate playin' mobsters, just for once I wanna dance!' 

'So you're ghosting me because you don't dig the bow tie?'
