In 1975 Philippe Druillet lost his wife Nicole to cancer. He exorcized the demons her death left behind in The Night, a nihilistic story about the inevitable ending that none of us can avoid. Set in a desolate, post-apocalyptic world, The Night follows gangs of dope-addicted bikers on a collision course for a bloody battle for the ultimate shoot. Desperate, dark, explosive, and violent - The Night is a baroque classic from the master himself.
