A Rifle for Sleeping

About This Movie

A Rifle for Sleeping is a gritty exploration of PTSD and the struggle for redemption. The film dives deep into Janko's psyche, a complex character grappling with his past as a war veteran and the haunting insomnia that comes with it. Set against the backdrop of Zagreb, the atmosphere is thick with tension, and the pacing draws you in slowly, almost uncomfortably. The film’s themes of lost love and fractured identity are palpable, especially with Janko's tumultuous relationship with his kleptomaniac wife. Performances are raw – the leads bring a stark realism that elevates the narrative. Practical effects are minimal but effective, serving the story rather than overshadowing it. It's the kind of film that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll.
