I just discovered via Facebook that this wonderful film is returning to a screen here in Brunswick. It was clearly one of the great surprises from this year's NJIFF festival. While there were certainly some great films, "Nocturne" really stood out. Marked by great storytelling and clever craftsmanship, this film really took me on an unexpected journey.
Supported by a nuanced and deeply touching script, the unique story of these unique and characters really made a mark on me. Director Pincus is very adept at discovering and presenting the core and base emotions of these very complex personalities.
The cinematography and music was also a real stand-out. Beautifully scaled images, inventive animation sequences (another surprise) and a fully realized score gave this rich film even more healthy layers. While the movie did seem to play out just a bit too long, I highly recommend this film to anyone who has an opportunity to see it this October. It is a film that should not be missed. I really hope it gets it's chance with the wider audience it deserves!
