The same PICKPOCKET ending of this and THE CARD COUNTER was also done in AMERICAN GIGOLO, which is basically the same film as LIGHT SLEEPER but a tad more impressive in terms of sound and image imo.

I saw this one on the big screen when it came out, though I only had the barest notion who Paul Schrader was. I remembering liking it a lot at the time. It's well overdue for a rewatch, now that I'm much more familiar with Schrader's work.

Woah I was just catching up on old Next Picture Shows and just listened to the Card Counter episode.

One of those movies that I'm going to have to cave and buy digitally one of these days. Keep waiting for a US Blu, but no luck...
