Pedro Pascal stars in Todd Haynes’ love story set in 1930’s Los Angeles, when the city is overtaken by corruption and the Great Depression, and the world is on the brink of war. DE NOCHE evokes the transgressive spirit of Chinatown while telling a story of rare beauty, boldness and astonishing tenderness.
Richard Rent (Pascal), a volatile LAPD cop, and Joe Thomas (Danny Ramirez), a boarding schoolteacher, become targets of the city’s corrupt political machine and are forced to flee to Mexico. In the humid jungles of the country’s Pacific coast, an unexpected affair unfolds. As passion turns to reckoning, both men must confront the violence they fled and the illusions that once defined who they were – and who they fear they might become.
