No Rest for the Brave
2003 · Movie · 104 min. · France
A teenager Basile (Thomas Suire) imagines that if he falls asleep again he'll die, and is then pursued across a rural French landscape by the mysterious investigator Johnny Got (Laurent Soffiati) and assorted hit-men. Welcome to the bizarre cinematic world of experimental French director Alain Giraudie for a coming-of-age drama which skips breezily between a range of genres and styles, in a universe where the boundaries between dreams, nightmares and reality are hard to distinguish.
