Where to Watch White Nights
- moonwizardsJune 30, 2026The story is constructed so well. All the devices used to push along the plot are masterful. Written by the same person who wrote the undeniably brilliant, 'the lion in winter'. The cinematography and choreography are also beautiful. This is an odd movie that could have only been produced in the mid 80s. I'm glad it exists. A true unknown gem.
