Dream #2

About This Movie

So, Dream #2 is this intriguing little piece from 2016 that feels like a nod to the silent film era. Shot on 16mm, the mix of black and white with color really adds a layer of depth. You can sense the effort in the practical effects, which is refreshing in today's CGI-heavy landscape. It’s a drama, sure, but also has this mystery woven through it that keeps you guessing about the characters' intentions. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, which might not be for everyone, but it really allows you to soak in the atmosphere. The performances, despite being silent, convey a lot through gestures and expressions. It’s one of those films that stays with you, almost like an echo of a dream.
