The mysterious Man Without a Face plots to steal the hidden treasure of a secret sect of the Order of the Knights Templar in an over-the-top adventure involving lost treasure, murder, underground ceremonies, mad scientists, robots, and a mind-controlled zombie army. NUITS ROUGES was surrealist Georges Franju’s (EYES WITHOUT A FACE, JUDEX) final tribute to the silent serials of Louis Feuillade—aggressively and joyfully escalating the absurdity of the bygone fantastique-crime genre, propelling it into a raucous, garish, and atmospheric film that blends high camp, anti-fascism, moody dream reality, and winking postmodern détournement!
"Every cut is an invitation to open a mystery box and to see something fantastic: zombie henchman, catsuit kriminals, Templar ceremonies, a poet detective, a daring train heist... I'm probably overrating it, but this stuff just puts such a stupid grin on my face." - Laird Jimenez
