Obscure Night – Goodbye Here, Anywhere is the follow-up to Obscure Night- Wild Leaves (2022), and it’s Part II of Obscure Night series about migrants who try to cross the land border between Africa and Europe. Part I focuses on geopolitical aspects of Melilla, Morocco, and the circumstances of youth there, and Part II pays attention to minors, aged 9 to 14, younger than the characters from Part I. The tones and textures of images got more poetic compared to the previous film. Still, both Part I and Part II show the Arab-Islamic collision, which is interpreted as hostility and confrontation to the West and Western European Diaspora and migration policy. Sylvain Gorge has been exploring the themes that combine poetic images and determination for political ideas. He joins the journey of young boys in the midst of an obscure night and describes the fate of African immigrants working as industrial workers in Western Europe in a 183-minute-long film. He persistently digs into the issues to combine reportage and poetic documentary’s aesthetic methodology smoothly, maintains closeness to the targets, and examines the meaning of places regarded as the area of confrontation and conflict. The scenes with gloomy and dark images also show the existential status of people who stand on the border of beauty and ugliness.
