State Like Sleep Meredith Danluck Katherine Waterston

A trailer has been released online for writer/director Meredith Danluck's STATE LIKE SLEEP, a "visually engaging" and "dreamlike" noir thriller that is set to be released by The Orchard at the beginning of the new year.

Danluck assembled an impressive cast for her feature debut; the film stars Katherine Waterston, Michael Shannon, Luke Evans, Michael Huisman, and Mary Kay Place. 

The story follows 

an American photographer (Waterston) who returns to Brussels a year after her husband’s death. While trying to come to terms with her grief, she unearths troubling information about her husband’s final days. To solve the mystery she plunges into the city’s underground club scene.

The film will be getting a digital and VOD release first, on January 1st. A theatrical release will follow on January 4th.

STATE LIKE SLEEP has me intrigued, and I really like the visual style on display in the trailer embedded below. Check it out and see if you'd like to start 2019 with STATE LIKE SLEEP.
