Ein Mann, der schläft (1974)

Ein Mann, der schläft: Directed by Georges Perec, Bernard Queysanne. With Jacques Spiesser, Ludmila Mikaël. A 25-year-old male student in Paris becomes indifferent to the world around him, and subsequently feels a strong sense of alienation and hopelessness.

“Quite a task making it through. But the ripples and ebbs and flows are well structured. Life can be tedious but this pushes it to the walls. It is a well done experimental film that focuses on a young college student who lives in a claustrophobic little room and does the same things, day after day. A rather monotoned female narrator drones on, although, when things are at their worst, she ups the emotion .Existential French cinema that was entirely new to me.”
