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.

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 isn’t about the help he can get from psychics, however; it’s about desperation that makes him project healing qualities upon anyone who is halfway sympathetic. The movie is familiar with its life of night and need. It finds the real human qualities in a person like the Susan Sarandon character – who, in a crisis, reacts with loyalty and quick thinking.”
– ROGER EBERT, CHICAGO TRIBUNE
“I think what I like best about Light Sleeper — more than Dafoe’s peculiar magic or Schrader’s wise, sympathetic writing — is the fact that it gives you so much to chew on. So many contemporary films seem to evaporate as soon as you walk out of the theater. Light Sleeper resonates.”
