One Night Stand

As the title suggests, One Night Stand centres round a bittersweet sexual encounter between two people and how that event triggers a crisis in both the marriage and the career of the male protagonaist, Max. With his best friend dying of AIDS, Max has to decide which path his life should take. As with Leaving Las Vegas, Mike Figgis looks on his characters in a non-judgemental way, seeking to create the complex texture of ordinary life.
