Reviews

Fabien Lemercier from the film magazine Cineuropa writes that Nocturnal shows the many qualities of a director who knows how to keep a team together. Equipped with an undeniable sense of atmosphere and realistic precision, she makes the most of the wonderful talent of Polish cameraman Michal Dymek , and the same goes for the highly suggestive music of Australian Aaron Cupples . This ability to bring talent together makes one of Nathalie Biancheri's new projects watch with great interest.
