Dreaming Under Capitalism

About This Movie

Dreaming Under Capitalism is a fascinating exploration of how our waking lives and labor seep into our subconscious. The film flips between intimate recountings of dreams from twelve individuals and haunting visuals of urban landscapes and workplaces, creating an atmosphere that feels both personal and universal. It’s a slow burn, with a pacing that allows you to really sink into the narratives. There's a rawness to the performances; the dreamers share their experiences in ways that are often quite vulnerable. What really sets this documentary apart is its ability to capture the invisible scars left by capitalism on our psyche, making you reflect on your own dreams and labor. It’s a layered experience, mixing the surreal with the stark reality of modern life.
