Synopsis

Inspired by a true story, The Second Sun follows the happenstance romance of Max and Joy. After leaving her husband and child, Joy meets a stranger, Max, in a lonely bar, on a cold, late night in post-World War II New York City, 1953. As the night unfolds, they delve deeper into conversation. Her disclosure leads to an inconceivable revelation, his harrowing secret from 1939 Nazi Poland. As facades fade, and truths are confessed, these two lost souls save each other, on a single night that changes their lives forever.

A crushing bore of a screen romance starring one of writer Norman Mailer’s nine children.

Gelfer may have missed the mark with this one, but she displays enough technical skill and empathy for her characters to deserve another shot.

The story takes place in 1953, and the relentlessly artificial-feeling film feels like it could have been made then as well.
