The Man Who Sleeps
Un homme qui dort
1974 · Drama · France, Tunisia
1h 17m
In this French tour-de-force a young student decides to have no more interaction with the world than is needed to minimally sustain life. His increasingly automaton-like behavior is coupled with a strange clarity of insight about the world around him. His inner musings as he wanders the luminous streets of Paris are narrated in the form of an unwritten diary by Ludmila Mikael.

"To want nothing. Just to wait, until there is nothing left to wait for. To wander and to sleep. To let yourself be carried along by the crowds, and the streets. To follow the gutters, the fences, the water's edge. To walk the lenght of the embankments, to hug the walls. To waste your time. To be without desire, or resentment, or revolt. In the course of time your life will be there in front of you: a life without motion, without crisis, without disorder, day after day, season after season, something is going to start that will be without end: your vegetable existence, your cancelled life."
