在这部秋眠剧情片中,在一个偏远的乡村庄园里，一个女人独自一人睡觉。这是一个离运动图像的黎明不远的时刻，痴迷而富有的爱泼斯坦博士设计了许多科学实验。他让领养的孩子皮特和瑞皮特，以及他心爱的小宝贝迪伊，接受各种科学任务。当爱泼斯坦和一些看起来狡猾的流浪汉做了一笔交易时，事情发生了明显的奇怪变化。在这样做的时候，他打开了一扇通向未知的门，打破了时间的结构，释放出一个影子般的角色，致力于将他所遇到的一切化为乌有。《秋眠》是用一台50年前的苏联照相机拍摄的35毫米胶卷，灵感来自早期的无声电影。这些角色和表演的性质类似于路演中的吸引力，同时突出了窥视癖和暴露癖的虚幻力量。就像早期电影中未经还原的电影一样，画面闪烁，色彩流淌，创造出一种迷幻的感觉，当人们穿过一段萦绕不去的工业乐谱时，这些乐谱被诗意的插曲打断，这些诗意的插曲检验了人物更深层次的情感。
In a remote rural estate house, a woman sleeps, she is alone. It's a time not far from the dawn of the moving image, the obsessed and wealthy Dr. Epstein engineers a number of scientific experiments. He subjects his adopted children, Pete and Re-Pete, along with his darling flapper, Baby Dee, to his various scientific tasks. Things take a decidedly strange turn when Epstein makes a deal with some shifty-looking vagabonds. On doing so he opens a door to the unknown, ruptures the fabric of time and unleashes a shadow-like character bent on reducing all those he encounters to dust. Photographed on expired 35mm film with a 50year old Soviet camera, Autumnal Sleeps takes inspiration from early silent cinema. The characters and the nature of performance resemble those from a roadshow attraction while highlighting the illusory power of voyeurism and exhibitionism. Like unrestored film of early cinema, the image flickers and the colours bleed creating a psychedelic sensation as one transported through a haunting industrial score broken up with poetic interludes that examine the deeper emotions of the characters.
