Production
According to Driver, filming began during the summer of 1985 and ended in 1986.[4] In a 2012 interview with The Huffington Post, Driver confirmed, "I was influenced by Jacques Rivette’s films, and Tarkovsky’s. Their magical realism was a big influence on Sleepwalk."[4]
Reception
Caryn James of The New York Times wrote in her review, "Although Sleepwalk moves slowly, Ms. Driver keeps her images from becoming static or self-consciously artsy."[3]
