Mixture of documentary and fiction about the dictatorial 1930s. With archive footage of 'kino newsreels', a script that is loosely based on the utopian fantasies of Fritz Lang and about the forbidden passionate love affair between a photographer and his model. The Dark Night takes Oleg Kovalov a little closer to his target: to write a complete history of the twentieth century in the language of film. Not a documentary or chronological history, but a lyrical, subjective and poetic history. In Sergei Eisenstein - An Autobiography, we witnessed the stormy 1920s and the blossoming culture of that era, in Scorpion's Garden we saw the paranoia of the Cold War and the thaw that followed. The Dark Night, just like Concert for a Rat before, is on the subject of the dictatorial 1930s. Kovalov has little faith in the documentary as a means to find truth. He does not think that the truth can be found within existing genres. So his films transgress those genres. Documentary and fiction are just as difficult to distinguish in his work as fictional characters from concrete people in old newsreels and other archive footage. That also goes for The Dark Night. The film combines archive footage from the Third Reich with a script that is loosely based on the fantasies of Fritz Lang: a lyrical thriller with horror elements. As the stylised black & white images have all been shot in reconstructed studio sets, the film has the mood of the 1930s cinema.

老人每天冒着大雪带着鱼缸出门，垂钓放生，放生垂钓。回家后，喝一碗冒着热气的粥，吃几个土豆，然后对着墙壁上亡妻年轻时的照片发呆。睡前帮亡妻的枕头被褥铺好，躺下来翻来覆去睡不着。有一天，老人在风雪路上救了一只奄奄一息的小鸟，小鸟从此不走，吱吱喳喳绕在他身边飞，成为老人的玩伴。天寒地冻，小鸟饥饿，老人杀了鱼喂小鸟。不知从哪里来了一个小孩，一直想抓老人的小鸟玩耍。在接触下来，小孩渐渐成为老人的精神依靠，老人又烤了小鸟给小孩吃。最后，小孩因为老人而罹难，老人最终卧床病逝，化成一只鸟飞向大雪山 。

Bientôt, à une exposition de peinture, elle rencontre un artiste qu'elle voit sous les traits de Julien et qui l'invite à venir visiter Florence. Elle confie à Michel ses tourments. Julien, de son côté, vient d'accepter la proposition de son producteur: réaliser une "histoire" avec des "personnages" et, pourquoi pas, des "vedettes"... Alors qu'elle semblait décidée à suivre l'inconnu, Sophie se jette dans les bras de Julien. Le metteur en scène qui tourne un film intitulé "L'hiver" demande une nouvelle prise. Pour la seconde fois, Sophie se jette dans les bras de Julien. Le peintre inconnu s'en va... 　　© Fiches du Cinéma 　　“One could spend forever unraveling this endless net, so tightly woven with signs and echoes, which becomes richer with every viewing. Hanoun’s formal investigation of the fragment and the (almost subliminal) flash frame, of very slightly altered variations and repetitions, which he applies to situation as much as to dialogue (often repeated, either within the same shot or from a different angle) reveals something of the interiority of film, of its creator’s unconscious, which becomes that of his characters. This structural resemblance to a Russian nesting doll should not confuse; it’s rather the contrary of this detachment with which the film ends. The more Hanoun compresses his dreams of dreams within dreams (films), the closer he gets to intimacy.” 　　-Emeric de Lastens (Re:Voir)
