Film Synopsis
Gustave suffers from chronic narcolepsy. He has a habit of
falling asleep anywhere and at any time, which presents something of a
handicap for his professional life. The upside is that he can
live, in his dreams, the most fantastic adventures. As he falls
asleep, Gustave becomes an invincible superhero. His
psychoanalyst, Samuel Pupkin, realises that he can profit from
Gustave's fanciful dream experiences. With the help of Guy
Bennet, a failed comic, Samuel sets about publishing a series of
adventures based on what Gustave tells him...

The brighter side of Franz Kafka
In his letters to his friends and family, Franz Kafka gives us a rich self-portrait that is surprisingly upbeat, nor the angst-ridden soul we might expect.
In the 1940s, the shadowy, skewed visual style of 1920s German expressionism was taken up by directors of American thrillers and psychological dramas, creating that distinctive film noir look.
