The Long Night

About This Movie

The Long Night is an intriguing dive into the chaotic life of Manolo, a hairdresser caught up in the seductive whirl of Paris nightlife. You get this raw feel of the 2000s club scene, where the pacing ebbs and flows with his highs and lows. There’s a certain grit to it, almost a documentary feel that pulls you into his world—cocaine-fueled escapades, oddball characters like widowed baronesses, and the relentless pursuit of fame. The performances are quite striking, especially in how they capture the absurdity and melancholy of his journey. It’s not just about the glamour, but also the hollowness behind it, making it a distinctive piece when you consider the era.

A curious exploration of nightlife and its pitfalls. · Captures the hedonism and isolation of the early 2000s. · Notable for its character-driven storytelling.
