About Schlaflose Nächte
In Berlin, young people search for purpose, happiness, and love on extensive nightly forays. They often get in their own way, masking their disorientation with busyness and self-deception in everyday life.
Directed by Marcel Gisler, Schlaflose Nächte leans on a strong ensemble — Rudolf Nadler, Anne Knaak, Cordula Stepanek — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1988.
