Set in a small farming community in mid Wales, a place where Koppel's parents - both refugees - found a home. This is a landscape and population that is changing rapidly as small scale agriculture is disappearing and the generation who inhabited a pre-mechanised world is dying out. Much influenced by his conversations with the writer Peter Handke, the film maker leads us on a poetic and profound journey into a world of endings and beginnings; a world of stuffed owls, sheep and fire.
Leave your thoughts about Sleep Furiously.
| Financial TimesNigel AndrewsKoppel's film transcends the pedagogic to touch the celebratory, the holistic, the mystical. |
| Observer (UK)Philip FrenchGreat claims have been made for it, which I cannot endorse, Koppel's stated intentions being infinitely more arresting than the completed film. |
| Nick's Flick PicksNick DavisA certain polite withholding, even if it masks some firm conviction or desire, seems to be a coin of the realm in Trefeurig, so it may well be apt that Koppel often films in a register very close to this one. |
| Total FilmSam WigleyIt's unusually tender and eccentric, and Koppel's personal sadness at the passing of this way of life is palpable. |
| PopMattersCynthia FuchsSleep Furiously returns again and again to this idea of transition: seasons change, cows go out to pasture and come in for milking, piglets are born, lambs follow their mothers as dogs herd them. Farming traditions are dynamic. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsLouis ProyectIf you love Dylan Thomas (who doesn't?), then you will love this film. |
| Seattle TimesDoug KnoopThis film is best taken as a visual ode to an all-but-forgotten way of life. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Sukhdev SandhuSleep furiously is a film whose lower-case title is in perfect keeping with the understated but tremulous mood it manages, with rare skill, to create and to maintain. |
| Time OutDavid JenkinsThis is as fully formed and unique a debut movie as you could ever hope to see. |
| Times (UK)Wendy IdeImages of wistful sadness - lone figures with plodding dogs on rain-lashed hillsides - are interlaced with humour and moments of skin-prickling beauty that leave the audience undone. |
