Nocturama

On an ordinary morning in Paris, a number of male and female adolescents from different districts, with different backgrounds and from various origins set out individually, yet somehow connected, and begin a strange dance through the labyrinth of the metro and the streets of the French capital. Hours pass by, during which distances are covered, messages are sent, mobile telephones are discarded, security systems are hacked and bombs planted. Conducted with precision, they seem to be following a plan. Finally, they come together in a posh department store, at closing time. Bombs are exploding in Paris. Ahead lies a long and nerve-wracking night. Focussing entirely on the offenders, director Bertrand Bonello depicts a modern-day bomb attack as a steadily progressing, unavoidable nightmare.
