In an interview for rbbKultur’s November 7 Cottbus coverage, Vikki Bardot explains how she and Alkan Avcıoğlu turned her experience of information overload into the script for A Woman Asleep. Following several women lets the film ask how a shared environment shapes their attention and isolation. The report describes how the filmmakers keep the artificial quality of the imagery visible, a choice that makes the women’s polished, disconnected world feel uncanny.
