    Pretentious rubbish, impressively filmed.
    Night Games is 2h02 long. Please don't waste these precious hours of your life on this movie!

    The black and white photography and the framing and editing of the film are impressive. Thereafter, it's all downhill, I regret.

    A deranged mother alternately pushing her son away and keeping him close ( a bit too close for audience comfort). OK, they mess you up your mum (and dad) ...., but this takes far too long to make the point.

    One found it difficult to care about the damaged goods of a son, and what were all these orgy-grotesque Fellini film types doing padding the running type out? A film, additionally, about western decadence probably? But, Oh, dear!

    I admired Mai Zetterling as an actress in the 50s and 60s, and, more generally, in her wish to transcend stereotyped views of beautiful Swedish (and other national) actresses - from behind the camera.

    Night Games is, however, a pretentious failure.
