 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Light Sleeper is a 1992 film written and directed by Paul Schrader.John LeTour (Willem Dafoe) is a 40-year-old drug dealer in New York, who delivers drugs for his boss and old friend, Ann (Susan Sarandon). They specialize in dealing to upscale clients, like the diplomats that are arriving in New York for a UN conference. Both Ann and John are thinking that they need to go straight; John worries about what he will do in the future while Ann is starting a cosmetics business.While out delivering drugs on the streets of New York, John meets his old girlfriend and common-law wife, Marianne (Dana Delany). Marianne and John were drug addicts together back in the day, and Marianne, four years sober, is reluctant to associate with anyone from her old life. But after John finds out that Marianne's mother is dying, he goes to the hospital, and meets Marianne again. Meanwhile, a young woman has been found dead of an overdose in the park, and one of Ann's associates, a considerably less polite drug dealer named Tis (Victor Garber), may be involved.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Sam Rockwell appears as a junior drug dealer. David Spade pops up in one scene as a young man who likes to talk about God when he gets high.

 Ambiguous Situation: It's never really clarified whether Marianne jumped out that window, or she was murdered.

 Bittersweet Ending: John is arrested for killing Tis and his goons and sent to prison, but he gets a reduced sentence for having cooperated with the police, and he's finally started thinking about the future, while Ann finally starts her cosmetic business and promises to wait for him to be released.

 The Aggressive Drug Dealer

 The Aggressive Drug Dealer: Completely inverted. So polite a drug dealer is John that when he finds one of his clients such a haggard mess that the client is trying to barter his possessions to John for drugs, John refuses to sell. Instead, he calls the client's brother and asks him to come pick the client up.

 As You Know: Marianne and John telling each other about how they got married in some sort of New Age ceremony that may or may not have been valid.
