Features: The Night Is Dark is Zweig's early work. It tells of a peculiar emotional experience of a teenage boy. This boy, still in the early stages of pursuing love, spends several nights with an unnamed girl, experiencing a thrilling time. Zweig employs impressionistic techniques to depict the boy's hazy emotions in the night, the girl's fiery passion, and the mysterious nature of the events that unfold. Everything seems like a dream, with blurred contours but leaving a lasting impression.
