SUBLIME CINEMA #589 - INSOMNIA

I liked the Nolan remake of this film - and especially the inspired casting of Robin Williams - but I’m partial to the original with Stellan Skarsgard, which is a stark and original work by Erik Skjoldbjærg. One of the films that helped to define the entire Scandi Noir genre.
