X and Z are a vampire couple, living in an old warehouse in inner-city Melbourne. Over the course of one night, they go about their regular business, teaming up with the poet-cannibal Seers and another vampire Vee. After a strange encounter with the mysterious Rola, the fabric of X and Z's world begins to change. A philosophical vampire film.
Philosophical low budget vampire tale from Australia, that comes off more like Mike Leigh's Naked than any vampire movie I've seen before. A Nocturne seems to sidestep any idea of a plot, instead we see the vampires meditate on their almost junky like situation of facing their own hopeless existence just to feed. I'd recommend both Abel Ferrara's The Addiction and George A. Romero's Martin over this, both better thinking mans vampire tales, but if you're in the mood for a zero budget shoegaze vampire movie then maybe A Nocturne will suit your tastes.
(5½ out of 10)
