Nightclub Story is a well written short about life’s chance encounters, a man and a woman randomly meeting in line to enter a club. An excellent depiction of the irrationality of love and how quickly the light is turned on and off, the film has all the awkwardness of two strangers trying to understand each other but without the chemistry. Well shot and edited, the story is intriguing but the two characters appear to largely be going through the motions, a pair that is perhaps never meant to be as the short might suggest.
