Light Sleeper feat. Miles Klee
Added 2023-04-13 14:01:06 +0000 UTCRolling Stone writer Miles Klee joins us to discuss Paul Schrader's 'Light Sleeper', which offers one of the writer/director's best variations on his archetypal "God's Lonely Man" narrative and features a spellbinding Willem Dafoe performance as a Manhattan drug dealer (and recovering addict) reevaluating his life when his supplier (Susan Sarandon) decides to quit the business.
Miles recently joined the Paul Schrader lore via an incredible Facebook post in which we see a acquaintance of the director's with a hilarious contact name sharing a tweet from Miles directly with Paul via text.
Our conversation on 'Light Sleeper' covers a wide range of topics, including the film's potent (and seemingly deeply personal) reflections on addiction and recovery, why more films should use psychics as a plot device, and of coure the brilliant and sumptuous wardrobes provided by Giorgio Armani.
