Eat the Night

In Cinema

Book Tix!

Nominated for the Queer Palm at Cannes, this suspenseful French drama is about the importance of connection, in both the digital and physical world.

Young drug dealer Pablo (Théo Cholbi) and sister Apolline’s (Lila Gueneau) world begins to crumble when they discover their favourite online video game, Darknoon, is shutting down at Christmas. While Apolline grows increasingly obsessed, Pablo falls into a secret relationship with sexy stranger Night (Erwan Kepoa Falé, Passages) as the pair are drawn into a dangerous conflict with a rival gang. Contrasting the escapist nature of MMORPGs against its characters’ gritty lives, Eat the Night explores the finite nature of life in this visually distinct, intense thriller.
