Sleep Has Her House (2017). 1h 30m

“I caught this film running on a loop at a friends place which I later on was able to watch alone. A warning; If you happen, as a movie go-er, to have expectations, donu0026#39;t bother. It is a series of slow moving clips without direction and certainly doesnu0026#39;t deserve the high rating it has.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhat I liked was the cinematography and sound. Chris Barley certainly has a great talent for it and I would be curious to see him collaborating with directors who can utilize this.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYes, It depends how you want to express your art. If this rocks the filmmakeru0026#39;s boat and there are people who enjoy it, perfect. There are very few people left who are able to let their work be art.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHowever, cinema it is not. Cinema or movies do take people by the hand. It always offers them a narrative whoever strange and confusing it may be. Even David Lynch and Lars von Trier are aware of this.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe u0026#39;artu0026#39; of cinema is to combine different forms (story, sound, music, image, acting, et cetera) under one creative vision.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLike I said, if the film is an expression of the filmmaker, fine. However, if the filmmaker is proposing to say; well, here is a series of slowly but beautiful moving clips, so what does it mean to you? It is a bit lazy and even a bit insulting for 1 and 1/2 hours.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis film would be wonderful as video art in a gallery. That would be definitely its niche. However, since it is on IMBD as a movie, I think the viewer deserve a small narrative which I placed as the title.”
