像是找回了一件遺失多年的珍惜之物，無論是這齣錯過了的電影，或者是多年前在倫敦第一次進場看演唱會的感動，那天深夜我獨自一人在房間裡盯著小螢幕將這齣電影一次又一次地播放，隨著《Night Thoughts》專輯的旋律，在黎明升起之時昏沈入睡。

This feature length film accompanied Suede’s 7th studio album, Night Thoughts. This album took the band’s artistic vision to ambitious new heights, both in concept and production. The breath-taking visuals in this beautiful film are the perfect accompaniment to the sweeping string arrangements, heavy atmospheres and rich production found in the music of the Night Thoughts album.

On directing the film for Suede, Roger Sargent said:

“Suede and I have crossed paths a few times over the years. I sneaked onstage for their ‘93 Glastonbury show to get photos for NME... more recently I was asked directly to do some of the photography for the last album.

I was asked to pitch an idea for this film project... I really had no idea what they were wanting or expecting so I tried to write in the least self-conscious way possible. The record deals with a lot of familial themes — life, death, love, anguish and despair; themes that are expanded upon in its visual companion, providing a study of how those elements affect the human psyche. It resonated with me for many reasons, not least because my mother passed away a few days after I started writing a story for the film. The film starts with a man drowning in the waters of a deserted beach at night, as he fights for life, his mind plays out the events that lead him to be there.”
