Review: Serge Moati’s Nuit d’or also known as Golden Night is a seldom seen (in my opinion) surreal masterpiece, as far as I know this film has never seen a release on home video, which it certainly deserves, to show my support for this film and it’s entire production, I have included the original soundtrack as composed by Pierre Jansen which I purchased online especially for this upload, as expected the OST is only available on vinyl, however is by no means as rare as the film itself, I am surprised this has the votes it has, I was lucky to catch this broadcast some time ago and it was only shown twice, I was not going to let it pass though…
This French-West German co-production tells the story of a maniac (Klaus Kinski – Fruits of Passion and Lifespan) who survives a suicide attempt and tries to kill his relatives one after another to take his revenge, the story is mean, but the settings, the photography and the colors are great. The backgrounds consist of dark old houses in Paris, streets at night and surreal colored interiors, like a mixture between Krimi and Giallos, also featured are some really bizarre scenes, like a bound, gagged and hanged schoolgirl in a kitchen or an old lady with heavy make-up humiliating a dwarf – scenes that could be from Buñuel or Fellini.

Amazing poster. Klaus Kinski, not sure he has ever done an uninteresting film, generally a sure bet, so, I’m in. Klaus is the real deal, he lives life as art, wow, to be him. Hmmm, on second thought, maybe being alone in his head might make the most insane cannibalistic, drugged out, zombie, serial killer, patron of the arts who bangs and dismembers the most beautiful women in the world film you can imagine, pale in comparison. But, maybe not, but there is likely never a dull moment in there as well. Yup, I’m in. Kudos Wip!
