The Limit of Sleeping Beauty

The Machinist meets David Copperfield in a neon-lit Tokyo grind. An out-of-work actress fakes hypnosis nightly in a cheap magic act, but her mind starts betraying the script. Sleep-deprived gestures and downtown fog carry a melancholy only a 2010s Japanese indie could nail.
