actors:

Nocturama follows a disparate group of Parisian youths who shelter in a department store as night falls, planning a violent act to coincide with a celebration of consumer excess. Bonello stages the story with a cool, dreamlike precision, balancing intimate portraits of longing and fear with a cool, clinical distance. The film scrutinizes radicalization, surveillance culture, and the seductive lure of danger, while never surrendering its hypnotic, nocturnal mood.
