Wake Me

2022 · 85 min

A quiet, disorienting character study that keeps you uneasy as a man's fractured memory slowly reveals a troubling past.

Overview: In this intelligent mix of Sofia Coppola’s “Lost in Translation” and Christopher Nolan’s “Memento”, the protagonist Rok loses his memory and is seemingly turning into a better man. Or will his ultra-radical past take over his personality again?
How it feels: Melancholic, tense, dark and earnest. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Memory, identity, redemption, guilt
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
