In the summer of ’76, as President Jimmy Carter pledges to give government back to the people, tensions run high in a working-class Philadelphia neighborhood where the Black Panthers once flourished. When Marcus returns—having bolted years earlier—his homecoming isn’t exactly met with fanfare. His former movement brothers blame him for an unspeakable betrayal. Only his best friend’s widow, Patricia, appreciates Marcus’s predicament, which both unites and paralyzes them. As Patricia’s daughter compels the two comrades to confront their past, history repeats itself in dangerous ways. Night Catches Us masterfully reckons with the complexity of its characters’ revolutionary ideologies and internal desires. Bell-bottoms, Afros, potlucks, and Caddies set the scene as the film potently interweaves political media with an evocative soul-inspired score, summoning a vivid sense of place and time. The golden light that bathes characters’ faces seems to express the promise—and elusiveness—of the necessary change Marcus and Patricia struggle for so dearly—each by separate means.

76年夏天，美国总统卡特（Jimmy Carter）承诺要把政府还给人民，在费城一个曾经繁荣过黑豹的工人阶级聚居区，紧张气氛高涨。当马库斯几年前离家出走回来时，他的返校之旅并没有大张旗鼓。他以前的运动兄弟们责备他说不出的背叛。只有他最好朋友的遗孀帕特里夏欣赏马库斯的困境，这种困境使他们团结起来，陷于瘫痪。帕特里夏的女儿强迫两位同志正视过去，历史以危险的方式重演。夜幕降临，我们对人物革命思想和内心欲望的复杂性进行了巧妙的思考。这部电影将政治媒体与唤起灵魂的乐谱巧妙地交织在一起，唤起了人们对地点和时间的生动感受。沐浴在人物脸上的金光似乎表达了马库斯和帕特里夏各自用不同的方式为之奋斗的必要改变的希望和难以捉摸。
