All These Sleepless Nights

Wszystkie nieprzespane noce

Art school classmates, Krzystof and Michał, lead a wild night life. They
wander through the streets of Warsaw, striving to seize the night and enjoy
their youth by bouncing from one party to another and falling in love head
over heels every now and then. They constantly test the city limits and are
eager to push them every chance they get; at the same time, they test the
limits of their mutual friendship.
Buoying somewhere between fiction and documentary, this is a film about
two young people and one town. The stylish and polished night-time images
of the Polish capital are so hypnotic they make keeping the track of time
quite difficult. Based primarily on atmosphere, the film is edited instinctively
rather than chronologically. The director managed to squeeze several
months of wild night partying intertwined with several party-drenched
mornings into 100 minutes.
