This weekend, the Musée d'Orsay is organizing its festival La nuit au cinéma. Fifteen days during which famous directors offer us their visions of the night and its materializations. So do not spend your spring evenings locked at home, but rather come and marvel at the screenings of the Musée d'Orsay to discover the night, the essence of dreams, to animate the cinema. A festival that is part of other events organized as part of Au-delà des étoiles, the nocturnes of the Musée d'Orsay.

Whether you don't know what to do this weekend or you're a nostalgic movie buff, the Night at the Cinema festival is for you. An event organized by, and in, the Musée d'Orsay from March 24 to April 8, which brings together 7 classics of cinema. From Murnau 's first American film to the timeless classics of productions from across the Atlantic, including the innovative films of Italian cinema. The theme of the night, theater of the most primal impulses, or the metamorphosis of our landscape is approached through seven monuments of the seventh art.Image result for the night at the cinemaFrom Charles Laughton's chilling Hunter's Night, to John Carpenter's foggy full moon Fog, to Steven Spielberg's mysterious Encounter of the Third Kind. During the fantastic night at the cinema, the directors who knew how to put stars in the eyes of thousands of young dreamers, will make yours shine. Not to mention the terrifying Voodoo byJacques Tourneur, and the agonizing Careful by Guy Maddin, before finally being rocked by the sublime Voce della luna by  Frederico Fellini.

The event was inaugurated in style by Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau's Dawn, his classic from 1927. Or should I rather say his masterpiece, which at the dawn of modern cinema, showed the way to it by its technique and beauty. A session admirably accompanied by the performance of pianist Paul Goussot. 

So during the 15 days until the end of the festival on April 8, the editors of Just Focus will be on the march to cover as many films as possible. Then run to the Festival de La Nuit au cinéma and do not hesitate to follow our reviews on our section La Nuit au cinéma.
