Savage Nights

What seems most significant about the camera and editing styles is the way they play against one another.

Bohringer makes the character real in countless details, and Laura's confusion and vulnerability undermine Collard's theme.

The film is driven by a sort of frenzy, not so much for escape as for the embracing of life.

The film has a degree of candour and integrity which is exceptional in an industry which ordinarily relies on teamwork.
