Night Method

Night Method

99 min · Thriller

On a film set inside a decaying socialist-era hotel, a young insomniac actress suffocates under her director’s manipulative gaze. Drawn to the half-dreamed nocturnal world of the hotel’s staff, she infiltrates their secret games by impersonating the long-lost love of the resident bar pianist. Blending haunted melodrama with meta-documentary, Night Method exposes the survival tactics of a Hungarian generation whose self-exploitation mirrors the very toxic patterns they long to outrun.

The film adaptation of the legendary puppet show "Nothing" has created a strange new genre, where the relationship between puppets and their actors is even more vivid, as the viewer's gaze is guided by the camera. The fusion of close-ups and totals, of orchestral numbers recorded like clips, of meta-scapes shining through from the theatrical space, of the puppet and actor work in the performance, has resulted in an unusual youth television puppet show applied to the optics of the camera.
