Asomia

About This Movie

Asomia explores the harrowing realm of insomnia through Szczepan's eyes. The clinic's strict regime fosters an atmosphere thick with tension and competition, really delving into the psyche of its characters. The pacing is deliberate, almost dreamlike at times, mirroring the struggles that come with sleeplessness. Practical effects are used sparingly but effectively, adding a visceral layer to the narrative without overshadowing the performances, which are raw and compelling. You can feel the desperation and fragility of the human condition on display here. It’s interesting how the film plays with the concept of rivalry in an environment where everyone is fighting their own demons. Definitely a unique take on mental health and the extremes people will go to for relief.
