Through the Night / Quitter la nuit
Belgian filmmaker Delphine Girard’s debut feature is part gripping thriller, part psychological study. Aly (Selma Alaoui), sitting in the car’s passenger seat, tells driver Dary (Guillaume Duhesme) that she is calling her sister. In fact, Aly, who Dary has just sexually assaulted, calls the police, reaching Anna (Veerle Baetens), who realises the true nature of the call, and comes to Aly’s aid. The film follows the three over the following months as each deals with the fallout of that night in their own very different ways, making for a powerful study of the mechanics of denial, both individual and collective.
