The Sleepy Time Gal
Leaving February 28
•
1h 34m
Directed by Christopher Münch • 2001 • United States
Starring Jacqueline Bisset, Martha Plimpton, Nick Stahl
A long-overlooked gem of American independent cinema, this delicate character study from writer-director Christopher Munch features a luminous performance from Jacqueline Bisset as a cancer patient confronting her mortality. Seeking to make sense of a life tinged with regret, she embarks on a journey across America that brings her in touch with those she loved and lost over the course of her existence. A probing, unusually unsentimental consideration of what it means to face death, THE SLEEPY TIME GAL forgoes comforting clichés in favor of something far more truthful and uncompromisingly open-ended.
