Hypersomnia (2016)
10/10
A surreal trip into human trafficking
9 June 2017
Warning: Spoilers
This is my take on it as a non-bi-lingual person,and I couldn't Netflix it with subtitles. It was creepy, surreal, suspenseful, and managed to throw in a seemingly sympathetic bad guy that ends up wearing a leather mask and wielding a knife and jars of creepy bugs and worms.

I don't speak The language, so I may have bits squed, but what it looked like it starts with is a woman not wanting sex with her boyfriend because the play that she is rehearsing for has her playing a woman who's being an abused held captive sex worker. When she sleeps she dreams the part she is acting is real, and that she is the character that she is playing. Her dreaming becomes visions while she is awake, and it's hard to tell if she is the actress dreaming the "prostitute" or the "prostitute" dreaming the actress.

There is a lot going on in the movie, and I would love to watch it with subtitles. If you love watching creepy movies with some suspense, violence, and a guy in a creepy leather face mask thrown in near the end, don't let the synopsis of just being a human trafficking movie, or lack of subtitles and no understanding of Argintinian throw you off from watching it.
