From Mike Hodges, director of the stone-cold classic Get Carter and the recent underdog success Croupier, comes another exploration of London’s dangerously fraught criminal underworld, permeated with an inescapable sense of existential dread. After learning that his younger brother died under mysterious circumstances, former gangster enforcer Will Graham — played with restrained menace and zesty panache by Clive Owen — returns to London to find out what really happened. Also featuring Malcolm McDowell, Charlotte Rampling, and Jonathan Rhys Meyers, I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead is a daring re-working of the British gangster genre. With a jazz musician’s sensibility of timing and structure, Hodges discovers a bold, new way to tell this tale of violence (both brutal and restrained), loyalty, and family obligations.
