Sleepwalkers

About This Movie

So, 'Sleepwalkers' is this intriguing little drama set in Corsica during the summer of 2009. It really captures the languid feel of a hot summer, you know? Pascal, this young medic, drifts through his days in a haze of boredom and melancholy, while Mustapha, an illegal hotel worker, is really pinned down by circumstances. The film has this raw, almost unpolished vibe, with an atmosphere that's both heavy and reflective. The pacing is slow but deliberate, almost meditative, allowing you to sink into the characters' struggles. There's a choir of young people that adds a layer of hope, challenging the status quo. Performances are solid, grounded, which really adds to its authenticity. It’s distinct in its simplicity, yet it doesn’t shy away from exploring complex themes of marginalization and aspiration.

Focuses on themes of marginalization and aspiration · Atmospheric with a slow, deliberate pace · Strong performances with a raw feel
