Ceux de la nuit

About This Movie

So, 'Ceux de la nuit' dives deep into this stark contrast at the Montgenèvre pass—by day it’s all about the tourist hustle, the flow of cash into making everything look nice, but then night falls and it’s a different world. You’ve got over ten thousand people risking everything to cross this border. What’s striking is the way it captures both the desperation and the resilience of these individuals. The pacing feels intimate, almost haunting at times, pulling you into their journey. There’s no flashy effects, just raw, real moments that stick with you. It’s a documentary, sure, but it’s got a certain weight that feels necessary in today's conversation about migration and borders. It’s not just a viewing experience; it’s a reflection on humanity.
