Skinopsis

You won't be 100% sure you're not the one hallucinating when you see this old lady's nipple pop out of her shirt. You'll be pretty sure you ARE hallucinating when you see her getting rammed from behind over apool table a moment later.

-- Rick Stanko

Review

Intellectual French cinema is alive and well in this refreshingly original and surreal metaphysical tale about a typical French teenager with a not-so-typical dilemma: he sincerely believes that the next time he falls asleep, he will die. Basile (Thomas Suire) is a talkative, excitable dreamer who has decided that he can only triumph over mortality by never sleeping again. As his body and mind become exhuasted, reality blends with fantasy, triggering a hallucinatory existential odyssey -- a trip which includes encounters with odd townsfolk, small-time gangsters, a fugitive named Johnny Got and an usual and very close relationship with a much older man. If you think Basile's interactions with these eccentric characters may provide a linear plot -- this is definitely not the case! However, the film is pure viewing pleasure, as grand ideas are discussed amidst some hilariously bizarre occurrences: think Waking Life meets My Dinner with Andre. Self-taught director Alain Guiraudie's debut feature film explodes from his fertile imagination, making No Rest for the Brave a perfect festival film and a surefire candidate for future cult status.
