What Drowsiness Is About

Three lives run alongside one another: a woman with narcolepsy, a writer who is terminally ill, and a gay doctor. Each is trying to get out of a dead end, and the exhaustion in all three seems to come from the same place. Magdalena Piekorz's 2008 film does not build a fast plot; it turns the emotional inertia it is describing into the pace of the film itself. Sleep, the inability to wake, and wanting to move without being able to sit at the centre of the metaphor. Malgorzata Kozuchowska and Michal Zebrowski lead. A Polish interior drama that asks for patience.
