Having made love for the first time, a young couple attempt to get to know one another. Neither had expected anything more than a one-night stand when he, Louis, accepted an invitation from her, Emilie, back to her apartment one hot summer’s evening. As they talk, they enter into each other’s lives, and it becomes clear that their relationship will last well beyond the next morning…
Nuit d’ete en ville is arguably director Michel Deville’s most daring film, and certainly one of his most intimate. The narrative could hardly be simpler – a man and a woman talk playfully to find out something about one another between one bout of passionate lovemaking and another (neither of which is shown on screen). It would have been virtually impossible for any director to sustain such a simple storyline for an hour and a half without two extraordinarily talented actors and a rather special piece of scripting – but Nuit d’ete en ville has both of these.
