Deep Sleep

About This Movie

Deep Sleep is quite an intriguing piece, really. Alsharif’s approach to filming under self-hypnosis gives it this dreamlike quality, almost like you're drifting in and out of consciousness while watching. The blend of locations like Athens and the contrasting backdrop of Gaza adds layers of meaning, reflecting a kind of dislocation that resonates throughout the film. The pacing is meditative, so it doesn't rush through ideas; instead, it lingers, allowing the viewer to soak in the atmosphere. Practical effects are subtle, but they complement the visuals nicely, enhancing that feeling of being in an altered state. It’s not just a documentary; it’s an exploration of space, memory, and identity—a unique artistic endeavor for sure.
