Review of I'll Sleep When I'm Dead (2003) by Emil K — 09 Feb 2009
This is quite possibly darkest of Film-Noirs and one of the greatest also. This highly dreamlike film has almost surrealistic feel in it, that keeps you nailed till the end. There is nothing extra here or no cheap and easy solutions, just uncompromising atmosphere of mystery and dread that hangs through the film.
When it ends it is like waking from fascinating nightmare that leaves you puzzled, but you can still sense the bold horror of it. This one of a kind film from director Mike Hodges should be considired as one of the most succesfull achievements in Film-Noir.
It is one of those films that will most likely leave a lasting impression in you. It may not be perfect film, not even close, but it is rare to see such an unique atmosphere like in here. This a must for all the fans on Film-Noir.
