About I Can’t Sleep
Claire Denis takes us again to the margins and the
marginalized – this time in the immigrant ghettos
of Paris. This dream-like tale follows the lives
of Theo, a struggling African musician and lonely
single father, Camille, his transvestite brother,
and Daiga, a beautiful, young Lithuanian immigrant,
as the city searches for a serial killer. The film
uses a famous French murder case from the 1980s as
a base to explore marginalization and isolation in
the immigrant experience. Claire Denis makes us aware
of the beautiful, otherworldly qualities of even the
most mundane and sometimes awful situations.
