An extraordinary portrayal of obsessive love interweaving memory, illusion and fable to spellbinding effect.
An extraordinary portrayal of obsessive love interweaving memory, illusion and fable to spellbinding effect.
A couple fall in love at first sight - a magical encounter. They search for a home, and soon they are building a charmed life together on the fringes of Wimbledon Common. But when summer arrives, and with it, two gregarious neighbours, their haven is transformed. In the course of lazy days of sunshine and long, hedonistic nights, the boundaries between the two households blur, and the lovers' faith in each other is put to the test. Deep-seated tensions surface, which gradually give way to fears that echo through their days, and haunt their nights. NIGHTDANCING is an unforgettable portrayal of the transforming power of young love, and the darkness that can be born of an ordinary relationship.
“"...she evidently has some of her father Alan's great talent for strewing the fantastical amid the everyday."”
