Max Richter's Sleep
Documentary film that recounts the creative process behind performing Max Richter's celebrated eight-hour opus Sleep at an open-air concert in Los Angeles.
'My personal lullaby for a frenetic world. A manifesto for a slower pace of existence' - Max Richter.
Max Richter's Sleep is a meditative respite from the rush and chaos of modern life that studies a universal experience.
This documentary film follows acclaimed composer and musician Max Richter and his creative partner, artist and Bafta-winning film-maker Yulia Mahr, as they navigate an ambitious performance of his celebrated eight-hour opus Sleep at an open-air concert in Los Angeles.
Emmy-nominated director Natalie Johns weaves in Mahr’s personal archive and performance footage from Berlin, Sydney and Paris to create a rich portrait of a shared artistic process, along with contributions that illuminate both the science and the story behind the work.
