Film of the Week: SHE DOESN'T WANT TO SLEEP ALONE

SHE DOESN’T WANT TO SLEEP ALONE / NO QUIERO DORMIR SOLA
A film by Natalia Beristáin
(Mexico, 2012, 82 min. In Spanish with English subtitles)

Amanda is 33 years old and suffers from a condition: she cannot sleep alone. Her dull life is suddenly altered when she is forced to take care of her old alcoholic grandmother, Dolores (played by veteran actress Adriana Roel), a retired actress who lives on her past glories. Largely based on the filmmaker’s relationship to her grandmother, Beristáin’s promising feature film, which had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, was the winner of the prize for Best Film at the 2012 Morelia Film Festival.
