Synopsis by Mark Deming

Artist and filmmaker Ange Leccia directed this drama of a woman who travels to a strange land which holds a key to her past. Antonia (Cécile Cassel) was born in Corsica, but hasn't been home in years when she gets word that one of her relatives has mysteriously vanished. Antonia returns to the island to help find her loved one, and is suddenly immersed in the stern, patriarchal culture she abandoned long ago. Antonia is also reintroduced to Ettore, who was her lover before she went away; while she still has feelings for him, she's also drawn to Alexander, a charming man who cannot speak. Will Antonia's romantic ambitions lure her away from her familial obligations, and is she willing to return to an often violent world where she is treated as a second-class citizen? Nuit Bleue was an official selection at the 2010 Rotterdam International Film Festival.
