"Nuit Blanche"
Passion without Barriers
Nuit Blanche describes a fleeting moment between two strangers as they experience love at first sight. They overcome obstacles to reach one another. For instance, the woman breaking through glass, and the man damaging a car and meeting her in one piece. This visually appealing short film is old-fashioned based on the lack of color, and the dress of the two main characters. The setting itself, transforms right into a hyper-real moment of emotional intensity. There was a tunneled vision because both individuals excluded their surroundings to get to their destination. Once they get past staring at each other, the man and woman seem to have a promising future, due to the events that occurred; they overcame obstacles of the same material. Time slows when the man steps into a puddle. Similarly, when the woman views the man's actions, she stands and drops her glass of wine, where it slowly shatters on the white table cloth. They were both exposed to the same elements liquid and the second element was glass. The second similar material is glass. The man experiences the shattering of glass when the car explodes around his form, and the woman walks through glass to meet him. These two elements might imply that the man and woman have a chance; they can overcome the same obstacles and come out unharmed. I'd relate this scene to the word "passion". Passion drives us towards something we desire. It pulls you to something you cannot resist. This involves overcoming obstacles, taking risks, and choosing different paths. Unfortunately, passion can be blind because we lose control of our sense of reason. In conclusion, the man and woman do not actually push cars or break glass, but they transcend barriers to become one soul. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves; we find it with another. Love is indestructible and passion is unlimited.
