Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist

If you like indie rock, if you loved Juno and Little Miss Sunshine, if you enjoy romantic movies… that movie is made for you !

Despite the awful and useless French title (“Une nuit à New York”), I was charmed by this unpretentious US indie production, not extraordinary but pretty nice and fun.
A secret concert of “Where is Fluffy ?” band is supposed to be organized… somewhere in New York – but where ? Groups of friends are looking for it, and teenagers are going to meet and meet again, especially Nick, a young dreamy musician, his bitchy ex-girlfriend Tris and Norah, another quiet brunette.

From the five first minutes of the film, we know how it will finish. However, it doesn’t matter: here, the great point is the way, the “love road” between the two young people which will run all along the night. Fortunately, the two sentimental heroes – cute but a little vapid - are counterbalanced by politically incorrect, refreshing supporting roles: Caroline, the drunk friend who can’t leave her bubblegum and, on Nick’s side, a gay band, composed by three very freaky but funny guys. They are unexpected protagonists who bring to this classic teen movie a new wind of originality and youth.

Thanks to the trendy soundtrack and to the pleasant actors, Nick and Norah’s infinite playlist is a nice film and we’d almost like to extend the moment… to infinity !
