...if you could get the original and share your shoughts on it as well. As I said, I have not seen the remake, I trust several people I respect that it was not too good (I usually don't watch this type of American films).Did the insomnia play a role in the original Insomnia? I thought so.
Follow Ups:
the attempted starkness newer version - visual, aesthetic, performance - has a clean hollywood sheen to it the original doesn't have. its a good clean hollywood film that didn't so much as tickle the *cold* chiggy.
Er, insomnia does play role in the remake.IMO, the remake is better than the typical Hollywood thriller, but the whole is somehow less than the sum of its considerable parts. (I must confess, I would have preferred different casting for the leads.) I would call this version an honorable failure.
I prefer the original film.
