 The ambiguous title of this ruminative, patchwork debut film from director Gideon Koppel is borrowed from the grammatically correct, though entirely nonsensical sentence, ‘Colourless green ideas sleep furiously’, which was constructed by linguist and philosopher Noam Chomsky. Maybe it’s unintentional, but that notion – of an unfathomable harmony between chaos and stability – permeates every scene of this wonderful film: a tubby fellow in a yellow baseball cap struggles to herd sheep, but his strained efforts deliver a mesmerising, rustic ballet for Koppel’s sympathetic camera. Sheep saunter across a rain-drizzled mountainside,
but, remarkably, their strict formation begins to form beautiful abstract shapes on the landscape. There’s an intensely moving shot of a female choir conductor as she delivers musical cues through wild facial movements: as a kind of punchline, she rolls her eyes as the choir reaches the end of the piece.
Rather than telling a story, Koppel paints a portrait of a community (the town of Trefeurig in Wales, to be exact), loosely linking his vivid (and often very funny) sketches of country life with the ambling journey of a mobile library. There are scraps of dialogue here and there, but words are not important. It’s more about rituals and process, a paean to old-fashioned methods like farming, baking and rope-making that are slowly being crushed by the wheels of progress. It never rests on tweeness or sarcasm and the sheer ingenuity of the filmmaking produces something altogether deeper, moodier, more compassionate and joyful. The lilting strains of Aphex Twin work wonders on the soundtrack, as does the abrupt, consistently surprising editing, which effortlessly transports the viewer from place to place, life to life. This is as fully formed and unique a debut movie as you could ever hope to see.
Sleep furiously is a film whose lower-case title is in perfect keeping with the understated but tremulous mood it manages, with rare skill, to create and to maintain. Its director Gideon Koppel has revisited Trefeurig, the small farming community in Wales where his parents, refuges from Nazi Germany, settled down, and where he grew up.
His father, whose hillside grave his mother Pip is shown visiting in a scene brimming with quiet emotion, died many years ago. The way of life – not just farming practices or church rituals, but the very rhythms of waking existence – that sustained and gave meaning to local men and women is also disappearing.

Koppel is a documentarian. But it’s unclear, and perhaps unimportant, what this documentary is about. It is best to think of it as a series of drifts through time and place, each sequence forming a fragment that helps to form a rich, unfathomably resonant whole.
Here are details, textured and intimate, but individually of little consequence or magnitude: a rain cloud passing over the top of a hill; a lardy fellow straining to herd sheep – much to the amusement of watching women; a female conductor, her face lit up with expressive gestures, taking her choir through a piece; a field being ploughed; the birth of a pig.
