The night before moving in with her boyfriend, Laure decides to have dinner with friends, but gets stuck in traffic caused by a public transport strike paralysing the city. She offers a lift to a stranger, and friendliness turns into desire. In Friday Night, Denis delves into human relationships with little recourse to words. Instead, she shows her customary interest in choreography and the topography of bodies, exploring these sensually through the use of close-ups and by the total confidence placed in the strength of her actors.
