Sleepless Nights Stories (2011)
Director Jonas Mekas travels through New York nights, through apartments, studios, backstage rooms, galleries, bars, and clubs. Encountering old acquaintances like Ken and Flo Jacobs, Yoko Ono, friends, brothers and sisters, sons and daughters. Mr. Mekas begins the film with the words 'I can't sleep.' Who hasn't been in this situation? Sleepy and yet wide awake at the same time, you find yourself in the world of those exhausted from the day's exertions, the drunk, the relaxed, the dancing, the brooding, the mourning, and the pensive.

Reviews
Boring, long, and too preachy.
It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
