VOLUPTUOUS SLEEP
by Betzy Bromberg. 2011. 95 min.
A trance of shimmering images, American avant-garde filmmaker Betzy Bromberg’s Voluptuous Sleep explores the poetry and pleasure of visual patterns and movements. In exquisite closeups and abstractions, Bromberg masterfully wields light to transport viewers into an exhilarating altered state.
“Like a subterranean river reemerging into the light.” —Bérénice Reynaud, Redcat Program Notes
