Friday Night
This could be any evening in any place.
Directed by Claire Denis
Produced by Arena Films, France 2 Cinéma
An intimate, sensually charged encounter between two strangers on the eve of a life-changing commitment, exploring desire and uncertainty through a single night.
The night before she is to move in with her boyfriend, a young Parisian woman picks up a male hitchhiker, leading to a highly charged and impossibly erotic detour.
