So, 'A Pat On The Head Causes A Dream' is really an interesting piece. Directed by Kaiwen Li, it intertwines the spontaneity of a filmmaking experiment with the weight of a lockdown. The duo of filmmaker and rapper takes Gondry's 'Be Kind Rewind' concept and breathes life into it under the constraints of Shanghai's grim reality. You get this raw energy, a mix of creativity and urgency, where strangers quickly come together to create something beautiful yet fleeting. The pacing feels almost frenetic but in a way that captures the essence of collaboration. They use practical effects and the charm of DIY filmmaking to explore themes of connection and resilience, making it distinctively engaging.
