The Wake Synopsis
The Wake is the title of a large-scale multimedia project, the main element of which is an eight-hour long silent movie. The film is based on Finnegans Wake by James Joyce (London 1939), a limit-transgressing, perhaps even limit-dissolving book that not only transgresses the limits of what literature is and is capable of, but inscribes transgressions on almost all conceivable levels. It is at the same time dream book, history book and necrology. It is almost impossible to determine whether we are dealing with a long poem, a prose narrative or a piece of drama.
The Wake (2000) is a drama film directed by Michael Kvium, released on December 24, 2000 with a runtime of 7h 42m. It stars Claus Christensen, Niels Olaf Gudme, Sarah Boberg and Elina Löwensohn. Viewers rate it 10.0 out of 10 across 2 ratings.
