There is something genuinely beautiful about how #MikhaëlHers draws these human interactions: its downplayed characters- imperfect, shy, introverted- finding themselves somehow connecting together. Its massively underlit interiors and exteriors can't undermine the human warmth emanating from the film. Watching #Montparnasse gives you that euphoric feeling that you are not alone in this world, not from some misplaced sense of nostalgia but rather from the possibilities of real human connections with someone. And that someone doesn't have to be striking looking or extremely clever or funny or well-educated. Even though most of the characters are twenty-something, there is no movie-ness about Montparnasse, just guilelessness and honesty, but fleeting enough not to get bogged down and becoming faux-serious docu-drama. The mood is just right, the music's great and the night is short. And after watching it, you can take that beautiful feeling with you to last at least all through the night.

The Passengers of the Night
Drama by Mikhaël Hers, France, 2022

An atmospheric film that doesn't reinvent cinema, but creates a French feel-good atmosphere. Oscillating between elegy on human deficiencies, to mournful pain and life-affirming savoir-vivre, all the highs and lows of life are savored.
