Story
La noche follows Martin, a forty-something man struggling with loneliness and desperation. He seeks companionship through casual sex, engaging in a hedonistic lifestyle filled with cocaine, alcohol, and orgies. Martin wanders Buenos Aires' nightlife, picking up men at clubs, scoring drugs, and having sex. Sometimes he pays for these encounters, other times his transgender sex-worker friend or another woman accompanies him in threesomes.
Summary
'La noche' (2016), directed by Edgardo Castro, is a hyper-realistic drama centered around Martin's nihilistic search for human connection. The film explores themes of loneliness, desperation, and the destructive pursuit of pleasure. Set amidst Buenos Aires' vibrant yet gritty nightlife, it offers an unflinching portrayal of its protagonist's self-destructive habits.
