The Sleep of Reason (2024)
Directed by Dominique Dubosc
· 1h 18m
As its title suggests, The Sleep of Reason is a film about human madness. The reference to Goya is assumed, but only halfway or in half-tone: we don't see the monsters. The emphasis is on what precedes it: sleep, not the absolute nightmare it produces. The film is very simply a series of tableaux and little tales in the style of Kafka: ordinary stories in the ordinary world of colonization and madness. Beyond a short introduction, I've tried to say nothing. The three-line texts that come before each painting are like chapter headings in the novels of yesteryear: where we shall see - where we shall see that... We only see it in the body of each chapter, i.e. in the pictures.
