The Sleepwalker
Director: Mona Fastvold
Writers: Mona Fastvold, Brady Corbet
Producers: 4 1⁄2′s Karin Julsrud and Turid Øversveen, Tandem Pictures’ Julie Christeas and Schuyler Weiss
U.S. Distributor: Rights Available
Cast: Gitte Witt, Christopher Abbott, Brady Corbet, Stephanie Ellis
American indie meets Fjord sensibilities from a video/short filmmaker who was an unknown up until the mention of a collaboration with Brady Corbet on his forthcoming directorial debut, The Childhood of a Leader. Unsurprisingly, the forthy, crispy cold, moody Bergmanesque drama with plenty of unresolve played like another Corbet-starring anti-Sundance vehicle in Simon Killer. We’re looking forward to our repeat viewing.
Gist: Written by Fastvold and Corbet, we find a young attractive couple renovating their Le Corbusier-like estate in the woods…Their lives are soon dismantled upon the arrival of unexpected guests. The Sleepwalker pokes at genre expectations and narrative contrivance in an effort to reveal something altogether more disturbing.

Just like the Chileans did last year’s fest, the Norwegians have been slowly invading the Sundance Film Festival with an output of films from smart rom coms (Happy, Happy) to original monster flicks (The Troll Hunter). I’m thinking that this swooning will extend itself into ’14 with actress, video filmmaker, and now Brooklyn-based director Mona Fastvold’s debut feature. The Sleepwalker went into production back in October of ’12 with a cast that exports Norway’s Gitte Witt onto U.S turf alongside Christopher Abbott, Stephanie Ellis and multifaceted contributor Brady Corbet. We’ll be far from pressing the “snooze button” on this one.
