Night is that unique lottery where anyone can win a crucial round, fulfilling otherwise impossible transactions of fortune/plot if only capable of the right subterfuge. It is where unforeseen cunning triumphs over sober intelligence, where the will to play is rewarded with momentary lawlessness. It is where the guilty are gifted another innocence, and the gods turn blind eyes to those disturbing their cosmos with the gambler’s dice. Night thus uproots the origin and installs luck as the new progenitor; it equalizes the board/arena for all malevolent contenders, parting skies for a short epoch of temptation, wonderment, and ecstatic violation of our finitude’s limits. It is not the upper air of the sacred promise, but rather the breath of profane eternality lasting only a few stolen hours. It is the site of erased debts and ultimate risk for those with both nothing to lose (desperation) and everything to gain (quest). For this reason, the night is precisely where we perish interminably and yet can never die.

I want to argue this anxiety cries out to be read in cultural terms, and the question the film poses is: how long can a culture persist without the new? What happens if the young are no longer capable of producing surprises?
