Synopsis
Light Sleeper (1992) is a crime drama you can watch online on iFILM — written and directed by Paul Schrader, with Willem Dafoe, Susan Sarandon, and Dana Delany. Sam Rockwell appears in an early supporting role.
John LeTour is a forty-something drug courier working the upscale side of New York. His boss is planning to go straight, which means his livelihood has a countdown on it. He barely sleeps. Then he runs into a woman he once loved, and around the same time one of his regulars turns up dead. The city he thought he knew starts closing in.
Schrader conceived the film as the third in a loose series of portraits of isolated urban men — following Taxi Driver, which he wrote, and American Gigolo, which he directed. Dafoe plays LeTour with a stillness that makes the eventual rupture hit harder. Watch Light Sleeper (1992) online on iFILM.
