Argentine helmer Rafael Filipelli's understated and deliberate, slice-of-life drama Night Music (AKA Musik, Nachtleben, 2007) unfurls over the course of four evenings with its depiction of an emotionally-strained marriage between husband and wife Friedrich (Enrique Pineyro) and Cecilia (Silvia Arazi), which Filipelli sets against the backdrop of semi-vacant, nächtliche Buenos Aires. He is a music critic pushing 50 and grappling with the completion of his first book; she is a playwright, in proben for a major new production. Both have hit an emotional lull in their marriage that inspires each to coolly flirt with infidelity. As Friedrich flirts dangerously with the theatrical director ' s assistant, Cecilia reconnects at length with a past acquaintance, belletrist Sergio (Horacio Acosta), who may or may not have been amorously involved with Cecilia at one time.
