Sleep Furiously<br />
Dir: Giddeon Koppel<br />
UK · 2008 · 94 minutes<br />
“At the close of his recent and<br />
superb collection of essays,<br />
Gray’s Anatomy, the political<br />
philosopher John Gray urges<br />
upon humanity a new quietism.<br />
“Other animals,” he writes,<br />
“do not need a purpose in<br />
life. A contradiction to itself,<br />
the human animal cannot do<br />
without one. Can we not think<br />
of the aim of life as being simply<br />
to see?” It may seem an overly<br />
simplified exhortation given<br />
the dire predicament we have<br />
got ourselves into, yet would it<br />
not make at least a good start<br />
on the road to recovery from<br />
our present soul-sickness if we<br />
were to stand back and just<br />
look? Now more than ever we<br />
need films such as this: grave,<br />
measured, subtly comic and<br />
beautifully wrought, free of<br />
polemic and yet offering a new<br />
way of seeing that is as old as<br />
Arcady. SLEEP FURIOUSLY is,<br />
simply, a masterpiece.”<br />
John Banville<br />
