A beautiful film, because too terrible truth, the physical and mental distress of modern man, on his extreme loneliness, specifically that of modern man 40 or 50 years. I have not read the novel by Georges Perec, I guess remarkable, but I do not think his film adaptation is devoid of meaning or interest. It is true that the film directed by Bernard Queysanne is greatly dependent on the text of the famous writer, but he does not occupy the same place. In the book, at least from what I could suggest without having read it (that is to say very little ...), it appears that the text is a reflection or an exact transcript of the thoughts of the young hero. It is, dare I say, the head of the protagonist, we adopt fully his point of view, a psychological point of view and mind totally subjective. What "The Man Who Sleeps" film version brings is the sight, hearing it: the thoughts of the young man added his senses! We're in the head and the body of this young man, and the text is no longer much of the work, the only way that connects us to the hero's inner life, but part of the The work, one paths that lead us deep into the being of this lonely person. The text still maintains its importance, therefore, as impossible to silence those thoughts painful and confusing, but it is no longer the sole condition that this is happening, what we found. In addition, we alternate between sequences purely subjective and those "objective", external to the individual and show us in his environment in the world. The focus of the story - a tale anything but linear, especially since it turns on itself in a vicious circle, colliding with walls and impassable cruel modernity - is substantially different even if it serves a similar connection. There are so many things to say about this film, perhaps not perfect in the absolute (and again), but an admirable consistency, a monotonous and uniform appearance as what he says while being deeply torn in his heart. His poetry, for example, is a model of economy of means, the photography is beautiful, the music totally about ... I leave you in the company of a sincere invitation to discover this film, oh so important and disturbing ! [4 / 4]
