In all honesty, the evening didn't hold much promise for Angel - just a
night at the laundromat. So when she spots a lovely woman, Carmella,
checking her out, she plays along and returns her longing gazes. And when
a guy tries to pick up Carmella, that only incites Angel's interest - even
if without any afterthought. Later, Carmella invites Angel back to her
home, and at first she's even hesitant - but then again, why not? It's
only when she's at Carmella's place that Angel realizes she's under the
other woman's spell. She wants to leave, tries so numerous times, once
even with the help of a friend with hers, but just can't - and that's even
despite the fact that Carmella seems to enjoy insulting her ... oh, and
she desperately wants to drink Angel's blood, too, because you know,
Carmella's a vampire. Eventually, Angel gives in ... and enjoys their
exchange of blood more than she would have expected ...

First and foremost, director Div For'e is known for his unusual erotic
features, many of them quite explicit in approach - but while Night
Pickup is sexually charged for sure, there is no actual nudity in it
... and yet, the movie, an extended depiction of a seduction, brings its
point across quite beautifully (and steamily so), as it's a film of gazes
(from coy to longing and everything inbetween, of poses and positions, of
small gestures and facial expressions, that's as unusual but at the same
time comprehensible that it's probably closer to the French nouvelle
vague than anything else. Plus, in its open-ended narrative it
certainly leaves one longing for more. Definitely recommended! If
this has made you at all curious, you can download this movie from http://www.twilightwomen.com.
