"Nuit blanche" is a Canadian movie from 2009, so two more years only until this one has its 10th anniversary. The title "White Night" is already a good indicator of this being a black-and-white film. Of course, the title has to be about the style because the story here is hardly worth saying something about. A woman sits in a restaurant, a man is outside and apparently the two share a moment that is as intimate as fictitious and unites them before we find out eventually that nothing about it was real. Or was it? Anyway, looking at the film's popularity and the number of votes, you can see that many people have actually seen it. It is by far the most known work for the core trio here and that includes director Manoukian, who has been the opposite of prolific since 2009, lead actress Lindley, whose only other credit is apparently as an assistant on "Deal or No Deal", and actor Coughlan who is the most experienced of the three, but also not famous at all. Their work here runs for under five minutes and there is no spoken dialogue included, so no matter where you are from you can watch it without subtitles. But why would you? It is really nothing special or memorable and that comes from somebody who enjoys modern b&w films a lot usually.
