A sick man in a wheelchair and his companion are stopped outside a hospital by a security guard. All three men are masked and speaking Chinese. He urgently needs a catheter but is treated with suspicion and without courtesy, a negative COVID test is demanded and the patient is turned away because they can\u2019t provide one. It becomes <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>arent that this documentary chronicles the early days of the pandemic \u2014 and the accompanying existential<strong> <\/strong>chaos and horror. It has a no-frills approach, showing what the filmmakers could capture at that time of utter confusion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    This film has a cloud of secrecy around it for obvious security purposes. No information is available about how and when exactly it was shot. The synopsis provided by the CPH:DOX festival, where it world premiered, doesn\u2019t even specify the setting; it just says \u201ctwo Asian megacities.\u201d In the film itself they are revealed to be Wuhan and Shanghai, but only when someone mentions those names deep into the film. The filmmaker(s) is credited as both \u201cAnonymous\u201d and \u201cTruman,\u201d obviously a pseudonym. While it does not indict the Chinese government methods per se, it\u2019s definitely not a flattering account.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    With a haunting eerie quality, this documentary does not follow any specific person or subject, just COVID and its repercussions. As the camera captures empty cities, military personnel marching and health workers in full white hazmat suits, everyone wearing masks and gloves, the collective trauma of the pandemic is rendered like a horror film. The audience relives how humanity and compassion were s<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>ped away, as life became about recording names, taking body temperatures, panic and isolation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The filmmakers allow the scenes time to build, most telling a complete story. Consider such startling yet completely plausible scenarios: a rude emergency doctor chastising a patient for not revealing their status, health workers knocking on doors and forcefully spraying people with disinfectant as if they were insects. The camera rolls in the midst of all this chaos, capturing it in intimate ways. It doesn\u2019t show just what\u2019s happening but also the debilitating fear that has taken hold of everyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Later the narrative shifts from observational to interviewing witnesses, from Wuhan to Shanghai. The filmmakers capture people living on the streets in makeshift tents, ostracized by family and neighbors for testing positive. They talk about being unable to make a living, about being taken advantage of by mercenaries when trying to secure food and other necessities. The full horrific ramifications of this second phase of the pandemic are uncovered. Some blame the government, some seem resigned to this unfathomable fate. \u201cNight of Nights\u201d unrelentingly conveys this living nightmare with unvarnished honesty.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    As a political statement, \u201cNight of Nights\u201d offers different avenues for interpretation. While it nevers directly implicates any entity, it functions as a record of failure of both people and organizations to deal empathetically with this calamity. A comparison of the differences in how Americans and Chinese people reacted to the restrictions imposed raises interesting questions. Are the people praising the Chinese reaction, especially that of the state, doing it out of conviction or just reiterating propaganda? Perhaps the biggest indictment of China comes from the secrecy surrounding who the filmmakers are and how they made this movie. The film becomes a document recording not just fear of a deathly disease but also the filmmakers\u2019 fear for their lives and for the people whose stories they are telling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    \u201cNight of Nights\u201d is documentary filmmaking at its most raw. A journalistic endeavor that\u2019s also concerned with human attitudes, it captures not just the facts but also the experience. The camerawork might be simple, without much care about how it looks, but it has texture, capturing pain, bewilderment, fear and ultimately survival.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
