Insomnia

Christopher Nolan masterfully turns the relentless light into a mechanism of psychological erosion, mapping with his trademark directorial precision the slow unraveling of a man who can no longer distinguish between what is right and what is necessary.

Synopsis

A veteran detective arrives in a small Alaskan town to investigate the murder of a young girl. As the endless daylight of the polar summer robs him of sleep, a fatal mistake draws him into a vicious cycle of guilt, cover-ups, and psychological disintegration.
