  • "Made for 25,000 dollars, the debut film from Gus Van Sant, MALA NOCHE, tells the story of Walt, a convenience store worker at the bad end of town. Walt likes the Mexican boys, and meets Johnny, a sexy migrant who speaks no English. Walt harbours not only sexual but romantic feelings for Johnny, but the immigrant distances himself from Walt's lustful advances. Dejected, Walt initiates a mutually beneficial relationship with Johnny's friend Roberto, swapping money for sex, while secretly longing for Johnny. As Walt tries to go about his daily activities, he finds himself drawn into the crime-filled lives of the Mexican boys."
  • "Un jeune homosexuel tombe fou amoureux de Johnny, un immigré mexicain clandestin qui ne parle pas un mot d'anglais et qui n'a même pas 18 ans."
  • "Un jeune homme tombe follement amoureux de Johnny, un émigré mexicain clandestin, qui ne parle pas un mot d'anglais et qui n'a même pas 18 ans. Mala noche est le premier film de Gus Van Sant qu'il a tourné en noir et blanc en 16mm en 1985."

  • "The French call it amour fou. Van Sant called it "Death in Venice on Skid Row." Based on an autobiographical story by maverick writer Walt Curtis, set in the seamy backstreets of Portland, Oregon, the film is about Walt, Johnny, and Pepper. Walt is a liquor-store clerk and aspiring writer, Johnny and Pepper are illegal Mexican immigrants. Walt pines for Johnny, who keeps him at arm's length, while Pepper eventually proves not so picky. Walt is a kind of low-rent sugar daddy for the boys, who have come for the American dream. Walt gets more trouble than he bargained for, just one consequence of trying to make pets of creatures that bite."@en
  • "With its low budget and lush black-and-white imagery, Gus Van Sant's debut feature, Mala Noche, heralded an idiosyncratic, provocative new voice in American independent film. Set in Van Sant's hometown or Portland, Oregon, the film evokes a world of transient workers, dead-end day shifters, and bars and seedy appartments bathed in a profound nighttime, as it follows a romantic deadbeat with a wayward crush on a handsome Mexican immigrant, Mala Noche was an important prelude to the New Queer Cinema of the nineties and is a fascinating time capsule from an era that continues to haunt the director's work. --Conteneur."@en
