Le Navire Night is a story of love and desire sustained and nourished through sound waves. The film’s voice-over tells the story of a woman, terminally ill with leukemia, living in isolation at her wealthy father's villa, and a man working night shifts at a telephone company. They have never met in person.

two voices of isolated, lost people find refuge in each other, yet keep a deliberate distance. no matter how much you talk about it, it will not fit into any description, but you can feel. Marguerite Duras will always be a literary novelist. she stays so even in her films, blurring the line between literary and cinematic language, as a result forming something of her own, unlike anything else. after watching three films, I can certainly say that her love language was words. and who are we without words? how much weight do they have if the mere pairing of natural and urban views with poetic sayings can create such a hypnotic atmosphere. 'très, très longtemps, rien. et puis, une fois, vos yeux’
