Written and directed by Olly Burn, Date Night offers a poetic take on what it means to find someone in the modern age. Set in an East London, Chinese takeaway, the film follows two potential lovers as they prepare to meet for the first time.
"Modern dating is shit. Occasionally brilliant, but mostly shit"
- Olly Burn
The score mirrors the back and forth with soft piano motifs folding lyrically around each verse. Warm analogue tones linger between the lines and glacial strings slowly swell, drifting into a daydream at the film’s evocative crescendo.
