A mysterious polyamorous trio prepare for an orgy in YOU AND THE NIGHT. Heir to the playful sex romps of early Francois Ozon, the dreamy color palette of Dario Argento, and Kenneth Anger's erotic occultism, YOU AND THE NIGHT is a sexy, wild take on *The Breakfast Club* with each character baring their inner souls to the group to find acceptance and love. Featuring an original score by M83 and an unforgettable cameo by the legendary Béatrice Dalle (*Betty Blue*), this dreamy, transcendent, fantastical film nods to its predecessors while also creating a novice and unforgettable cinematic experience. Official Selection at the **Cannes Film Festival**. *"...There's a cheeky gag around every corner and the imaginative visuals, committed performances and tendency to transgress mean things are never less than interesting [in YOU AND THE NIGHT]." - Emma Simmonds, **Radio Times***
