Makoto Sasaki in the initial sequences of his documentary “Night Cruising”, immediately throws us into deep end. At first glance everything seems all right… but after a while, one may start wandering if a technical issue occurred. For 12 minutes, we follow just a black screen with an audio track containing dialogues, background music and sound effects. When it becomes obvious the unusual form is intentional, leaving the initial surprise behind and trying to understand what is happening is the best strategy. That masked picture seems to be a science fiction movie, with some action scenes and a duo of interesting characters: a blind fighter and a telepathic… But how much of the bigger picture we can actually comprehend deprived of the picture itself?
