Max Richter’s SLEEP
“Sleep is among the most arresting films of this year”
— Kambole Campbell, Empire
SLEEP is a ground-breaking visual portrait of acclaimed composer Max Richter and his creative partner, artist Yulia Mahr, as they navigate an ambitious open-air, overnight performance of this celebrated eight-hour opus in Los Angeles.
Transcending the work to explore its legacy, SLEEP is a compelling and deeply personal insight into the life and work of Max Richter and Yulia Mahr—a creative partnership spanning thirty years—diving into their process, their tenacity, and the drive needed to sustain such work.
The contemplative essence of SLEEP offers a poetic depiction of the ‘liminal state’. This is a film for these challenging times, offering an immersive and meditative respite from the chaos of the world.
The film is streaming on BBC IPlayer and Mubi.com.
