While the Women Are Sleeping (Mientras ellas duermen)
de Wayne Wang
Trailer
Synopsis
A writer becomes obsessed with the relationship between a young woman and a man who, night after night, videotapes the girl while she’s asleep. Wayne Wang borrowed a short story by Javier Marías and relocated it to Japan, where he found the perfect actor to play the mysterious man: Takeshi Kitano. Together, they created a film that straddles the divide between perversity and the oneiric and that revolves around watching and being watched.
