Like Sleep

About This Movie

Like Sleep is a curious piece, really. It's a stark portrayal of a young couple, their lives suspended in a surreal moment on a sofa, engaging with drug use in a way that feels both intimate and detached. The pacing is almost hypnotic, drawing you into their world, yet it has this unsettling undercurrent. The atmosphere is thick, with an almost dreamlike quality that makes you ponder the themes of escapism and addiction. You can’t overlook the practical effects; they’re raw and unfiltered, capturing the physicality of their actions in a hauntingly real way. It's distinct for its unflinching portrayal of a moment most would shy away from, leaving you with a lingering sense of discomfort.

Like Sleep is relatively obscure, and copies are quite scarce, which certainly adds to its allure among collectors. The film has been released in various formats over the years, but finding an original print or a well-preserved copy can be a challenge. It's one of those pieces that sparks conversation among collectors, not just for its content but for its unique artistic approach to a heavy subject matter.
