Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

"Nuit blanche" is a Canadian movie from 2009, so two more years only until this one has its 10th anniversary. The title "White Night" is already a good indicator of this being a black-and-white film. Of course, the title has to be about the style because the story here is hardly worth saying something about. A woman sits in a restaurant, a man is outside and apparently the two share a moment that is as intimate as fictitious and unites them before we find out eventually that nothing about it was real. Or was it? Anyway, looking at the film's popularity and the number of votes, you can see that many people have actually seen it. It is by far the most known work for the core trio here and that includes director Manoukian, who has been the opposite of prolific since 2009, lead actress Lindley, whose only other credit is apparently as an assistant on "Deal or No Deal", and actor Coughlan who is the most experienced of the three, but also not famous at all. Their work here runs for under five minutes and there is no spoken dialogue included, so no matter where you are from you can watch it without subtitles. But why would you? It is really nothing special or memorable and that comes from somebody who enjoys modern b&w films a lot usually.

I watched Nuit Blanche because it was linked to from Wired.com. I only watched it because I'd worked on a project relating to car safety, and it was introduced as a film with a slow motion car crash.Little did I expect, however, to watch one of the most beautiful, romantic, transcendent and enchanting short films I've ever seen.Nuit Blanche is stunningly beautiful.Visually, it's spectacular. The music, literally, soothes my soul... If you've only seen this on a laptop with bad speakers, try watching it on a PC with high quality sound.I can't remember the last time I watched a short film that touched me as deeply, or that I watched another 20 times since.Bravo to the producer! Thank you for making my day.

Stunning. If you get a chance, see the Making Of Nuit Blanche as well, at http://vimeo.com/9076775.Although this black and white homage to all that is Paris and all that is love was CGI-generated and -enhanced, it reminds me a bit of Luc Besson's beautiful "Angel-A," which was not. Worth a look if you like this.Extra line 1 forced by IMDb's dumb 10-line rule. Extra line 2 forced by IMDb's dumb 10-line rule. Extra line 3 forced by IMDb's dumb 10-line rule.
