- Synopsis:
- Set entirely in a nightclub in a mountain ski resort over one eventful evening, Peter Solans Before Tonight is Over brings together an exceptional cast as they drink, dance, flirt, and fight in a delightful, kaleidoscopic character study. Highly improvised and experimental in its approach, the film achieves a remarkable, intimate naturalism, offering a sharp critique of then\-contemporary life as the characters gradually reveal their dreams, desires and disappointments. Once condemned for its depiction of societies vices, the radical Before Tonight is Over remains a potent work of wit and wisdom and is now regarded as one of the great gems of Slovak cinema.
