O Cinema presents Light Sleeper

May 10, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

LIGHT SLEEPER is a gripping character-driven drama that delves into the world of drug dealing and addiction, with a transformative performance by Willem Dafoe as a high-end drug courier struggling to find meaning and redemption amidst the dark underbelly of New York City.

As John LeTour, Dafoe delivers a powerful and multi-layered portrayal of a man at a crossroads. His character is a deeply conflicted individual, torn between his loyalty to his longtime boss, Ann (Susan Sarandon) and a growing desire to change his life for the better. When a series of events leads to the death of an acquaintance, LeTour is forced to confront his own demons and reevaluate his priorities. Dafoe’s intense and nuanced performance showcases his ability to bring depth and humanity to the role of LeTour, making him a sympathetic and relatable figure despite his criminal lifestyle. His on-screen chemistry with Sarandon and Dana Delany, who plays a former lover, adds emotional weight to the story and makes the stakes feel all the more real.

LIGHT SLEEPER is a compelling exploration of addiction, redemption, and the human spirit, anchored by Willem Dafoe’s captivating and unforgettable performance as John LeTour. The film serves as a testament to Dafoe’s versatility and talent, proving that he is truly one of the finest actors of his generation.
