Don't Eat, Don't Sleep

This riveting promo for 'Don't Eat, Don't Sleep' by Gliiico explores the sleazy underbelly of the urban jungle through the prism of a chain-smoking male protagonist on the lookout for cheap thrills and who knows what else. The seediness seeps off the screen like a weeping wound in a meandering and purposeless sequence that grips your attention like an attack dog.

The aim is unknown, but the vibe is nihilistic and you may feel so grubby after watching this that you need hosing down. Director Jackson Lee Forsythe isn't afraid of the dark, either figuratively or literally, and he moves his players dolefully through the city's murk as they search for whatever gives them their kicks, without ever finding it, of course, because it's that kind of noir.
