Claire Denis’s Stars at Noon: who knew the end of the world could feel so romantic?

Stars at Noon follows an American journalist and a British consultant in Covid-struck Nicaragua amid political tension and romantic entanglements.
Critics noted Denis’s stage-like focus on carnal desire over conventional narrative and her actor-centric directing style.
The film’s climactic nightclub sequence unfolds beneath a pink nightclub glow and a dreamy jazz score by Tindersticks.
The film binds romance to danger when Daniel’s true, possibly nefarious, purpose in Nicaragua is hinted by a CIA character.
Stars at Noon is streaming on Prime Video and SBS on Demand in Australia and available to rent in the UK and US.
