Back from a time when the horror of reality is probably enough for itself, the expression consecrated by its South Korean director Jason Yu, is Sleep, one « feel good horror movie », which won the Grand Prix of the 31st international festival of the fantastic film of Gérardmer. A metaphor of marital life, this fantastic drama traces the life of a young couple faced with acute sleepwalking crises of the husband. Overwhelmed by the fear of what his spouse might commit at night, his wife was increasingly caught up in madness. We share our enthusiastic impressions of the Gérardmer festival and our interview with director Jason Yu. Release scheduled for February 21, 2024.
