NOCTURAMA is a bold work that speaks to our contemporary times with its razor sharp depiction of a group’s attack against their own society and culture. The film is divided into two distinct parts which depict the planning, execution and aftermath of a series of attacks around Paris.

In the first part, a multiracial group of young Parisians goes about executing a wave of attacks around various Paris locations with a precisely synchronized plan. The second part shows the aftermath of those attacks as the group seeks refuge in a multi-level department store while Paris is thrown into chaos outside the department store. Packed with plenty of tension, NOCTURAMA manages to strip away any ideologies about the group’s motives but instead uses their attack as an abstract study about contemporary consumerist society that is driven by money, fear and endless wars. As a result, NOCTURAMA is one of the most relevant films to have been made in recent years!
