A Stormy Night

Goodness. Yakily, Yakily, Yak and more whiny Yak Yak Yak. Drama in drama out. If I were Marcos, I would have had dashed out of that yin energy vampire black hole within 5 mins of encounter and checked into the YWCA instead for a more authentic butch environment. I felt drained just watching for 30 mins and then decided I'll FFWD this Woody Allen masterpiece to its end while I pound in this review.

Just seen the movie and I love it, how it reflects natural conversations between gay guys and also I could feel that sexual tension between them accross the whole movie, always walking between a moral line that is different for everyone. Well filmed and it was a good choise the black and white. Congrats an hope to see your next movie!

Deep and heartbreaking. I loved everything about this movie. The acting, the dialogs etc. Especially the fact that it was filmed in black and white, something that projects the overall feeling of the movie. I would totally recommend it.

The conversations the 2 protagonists (around 40 - 45 minutes) raise the script above an amateur level.

Plus all the actors are convincing in their characters's portrayals. 👌 Filmed in a crisp/focused B & W adds an effective atmosphere to the story.

Two strangers meet during a stormy night thanks to a mutual friend. One is a film maker from Spain on is way to a festival in California that is showing his documentary. The other works from home on a dating app, a gay dating app, and hosts the filmmaker on his unscheduled layover in NYC/Brooklyn.

An intimate film, a character study of two strangers whose brief encounter changes both their lives, not in big dramatic terms but sufficiently that one feels both have grown in small but discernible ways thanks to the encounter.

The black and white cinematography feels appropriate and reminds one of character driven European films of the 50s and 60s. There is a graduate student feel to the film (thesis project), some stilted dialogue, and wish there had been more clarity and development in the characters. But given the obvious budget restraints, the sensitivity to the subject, and the charm and ease of David Moragas as actor, I'd say it's an auspicious beginning.

If you don't need car crashes and sex but enjoy the subtle and more lyrical character study, you'll appreciate the work here.
