I watched the film, “Un homme qui dort” , “A Man Asleep”, on Youtube before Christmas, but I didn’t get it and I think I gave up halfway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TNurvWW4_0
I started reading thee two works “Things: a story of the Sixties” and “A Man Asleep” on my recent train journeys, just finishing the latter yesterday.

I must say that reading the two stories one after another made a lot of sense; they contrasted well.
Perec, G. (2011) Things : a story of the sixties ; with, A man asleep. London: Vintage Classic.
