A fallen flower returning to the branch? It was a butterfly. (Moritake) A tribute to Andy Warhol and his Sleep, Radu Jude’s “desktop documentary” premiered out of competition at the Locarno Film Festival in 2024.
“Sleep #2 means: life, death, nature, poetry, fragility, impressionism, selfies, Andy Warhol, love and kisses.” (R. Jude)
