NBC is airing this film next Sunday, broken up into three parts... I wonder how they'll handle the pacing...

THAT BEAUTIFUL MIAMI NIGHT – drama series (1/3)

In the dark, deserted alleys of the Miami ghetto during the final two hours of New Year's Eve, three stories emerge from the chaos of the celebrations. Three different couples find themselves converging near Times Square—Nike, a small-time dealer, and Mary, a widow with a child; Maya, a young addict in crisis, and Frankie, a disillusioned sailor; and the naive, lovestruck teens Luke and Angel—all struggling to escape the extremes they've been pushed into, changes that will alter their lives forever.
Last year at the Sundance Film Festival, the film picked up several golden arenas for camera and editing, along with the "birch" for best debut. It also won numerous awards at international festivals (Boston, Constantine, Cottbus) and was even nominated for an award from the European Film Academy in 2004.

Episode 1: NIKE

Right as New Year's Eve approaches, Nike, a low-level dealer, decides to ditch the city and his girlfriend, Mary. But his attempt to con his boss falls through, leaving Mary—whose son isn't exactly thrilled about Nike showing up at the apartment—as his last shot at salvation.

Honestly, I’d say this flick is one of our best, and frankly, it’s even more "serious" than Trainspotting.

My absolute favorite has to be "Black." 😉

It just won't work as a series. You'll lose the movie's intensity and the way the stories tie together.

Basta said:It just won't work as a series. You'll lose what makes the movie strong, that whole sense of connection between the stories.

That’s what I thought too, honestly, but maybe there's a chance. I actually just finished the first episode and... man, it was even better than I remembered.
I’m guessing that opening scene stays the same for all three episodes—that drive over the ghetto from Angel's perspective.
And yeah, N. Ivanković actually feels way more convincing to me this time around than she did during my first watch.

Can't wait for the next episode. 🙂

I assume the opening scene will be identical across all three episodes—that same drive over the ghetto. Angel's perspectives.
And yeah, watching this a second time, N. Ivanković actually seems more convincing to me than she did during the first viewing.

I completely agree. The first episode was gripping—tightly paced and stood perfectly well on its own. It didn't lose any of that cinematic magic. People who haven't seen the movie might find certain parts a little "off," but once they get through all three episodes, everything will click into place.

And yeah... Nivea is just too good in this movie. 👍 👍 👍
