Review of Bright Night

Bright Night (2014)
A bad movie
14 August 2017
Warning: Spoilers
This movie does not have a script. It does however have a mess of the Writer slash Director's issues. Like the shifty West German, the complex East Germans, and so on. The film is obviously made with state money, because the story is at best a medium-short feature, maybe 30-35 minutes.

The subject is the girl. The boys are all gay, bisexual at best, which makes me believe the Writer slash Director is also gay and he is having trouble coping with the subject. Because the girl is completely opaque. And to make things worse she is two. And the two end up fighting each other.

The temporal axis is badly messed up. The dream scenes are badly marked. Are they dream or are they any form of magic reality? Who knows. By two thirds into the movie I was quite certain the Writer has no idea at all.

But the worst part is the extra film. And the Director has to fill it with fluff, which he masquerades as mood. One character looking somewhere off screen for no reason other than justify the funding to some state bureaucrats. The scenes are doubled in a pointless manner until you get to see the old Soviet technique of "having something to show".
