Movie Description
SLEEP DEALER is a Spanish-language science fiction film whose visions of the future are informed by current technological and social trends. Memo (Luis Fernando Peña) is desperate to escape his tiny Mexican hometown, and his radio intercept allows him a glimpse at the outside world. But soon he overhears a top-secret conversation he never should have had access to, and now he and his family are targets. When he finally does leave his home for Tijuana, he is on the run. When he meets pretty Luz (Leonor Varela) in the new city, she offers him friendship and the technology he needs to get a job, but she may also put his life in danger.
Industry Reviews
"Adventurous, ambitious and ingeniously futuristic, SLEEP DEALER is a welcome surprise. It combines visually arresting science fiction done on a budget with a strong sense of social commentary in a way that few films attempt, let alone achieve."
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (04/17/2009)
"[A]n unusually thoughtful science fiction film using the speculative energy of the genre to explore some troubling and complex contemporary issues."
New York Times - A. O. Scott (04/17/2009)
"[There] exists an inkling of a cinema of hope, humanity, and ideas far more intriguing than anything Hollywood sci-fi seems capable of offering."
Film Comment - Chris Chang (09/01/2009)
