Nocturne indien is a typical film that plays on your feelings and one that you should avoid if you care about a strong story and characters and an effective plot. In the end, it doesn't matter if the Frenchman was looking for his friend or his lost shadow. Sometimes the journey can be the destination, and here we have an interesting road movie through Indian cities and transportation routes. In one of the scenes, a fellow traveler vividly describes the beauties of Madras and all the tourist destinations, and then the protagonist finally asks him how he usually travels there. The answer is that he has not been there yet, but it is not important to be in direct contact to become knowledgeable. However, Nocturne indien conveys that personal contact with a foreign culture and environment is very important and that some experiences are not transferable. In the film, the camera plays an important, essentially dominant role, capturing the poverty of slums, and the depressing environment of the metropolitan hospital, dormitories, and luxury hotels. If the opinion is right claiming that people seek out the exotic on their vacations, meaning that nothing works properly in those countries, then India is probably an ideal destination for such travel. Nocturne indien is a slow film that you need to be able to tune into and you need to be rested. Overall impression: 60%. ()
