Great acting by the multilingual, life celebrating impersonation of death. Beautifully shot and very well accompanied by the music to create a Film Noir one-night road movie that raises a few philosophical questions about life and death but, more importantly, reminds the protagonist and the audience about the beauty of enjoying every moment.

In his debut Xaver Böhm invites you for a trip through Germany's night life in where you can encounter the most strange creatures of the night. Loosely based on Faust, and even if you're not quite sure what you're actually watching you'll be intrigued. Just like life itself, O Beautiful Night is full of surprises and nothing comes expected.

First impression at the first few minutes: nice cinematography and the Blue-Red thing was done well (to much at some points but not annoying). Nice soundtrack too. The idea is not new and that's ok but the storytelling wasn't good enough. I didn't like the ending, it needed to be more powerful. At the end every one said "What? That's it?". The cast was poor at some points.

With great acting, stunning scenes and a beautiful nocturnal atmosphere, this movie manages to capture the viewer and take them on a trip with the characters that will leave you amazed and fascinated. The music and pacing are on point, and I would gladly recommend this movie to anyone.
