3.0 out of 5 stars A Unique and Exotic Experience, Oct 11 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: I Cant Sleep (VHS Tape)

This is one of my favorite films. It's definitely in my top 10 list. I first saw this film in 1998, and it made me want to go to Paris. Just watching this film, you actually feel like you're there in this strange, odd, and artsy underground world
in Paris. The music is dreamy and exotic and so are the strange mix of characters; French, Russian, African. The interwining stories are bizarre and interesting.

I've been a fan of Claire Denis ever since I saw this film. She's quite talented and grew up in France and Africa. Her understanding and realistic portrayls of Africans and peoples of the African dispora is refreshing and tres gentil.

I would recommend you watch this unique film.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Point Being, Mar 26 2001

By

George M Weatherford (Cambridge, MA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: I Cant Sleep (VHS Tape)

I believe that people who search for the director's point or meaning to the overlapping stories in "I Can't Sleep" only do themselves a disfavor. This film, with its dreamy music, pensive acting and odd flavor seems more about the lack of a point. All the plots in this film have connection, yet nobody in it really connects, and there seems to be very little meaning for any. This can be a frustrating film experience; but overall, leaving it so empty, the beauty is that the viewer is forced to fill in his or her own details and use his or her own brain. Definitely not a film for all, but those who like challenging, slow-moving and very pensive material... you can fo much worse. Also check out Nenette et Boni, an even better film by the same director, and Beau Travail, a beautiful tone poem of an adaption of Billy Budd, still by Claire Denis.

4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting film for those not obsessed with tidy plots
"I Can't Sleep" is an odd film--with a plot about a number of overlapping stories, about people who live on the margins of Parisian society. Read more
