Tell Me I'm Dreaming

About This Movie

So, 'Tell Me I'm Dreaming' from '98 is this oddball little film that captures a peculiar slice of rural life. It revolves around a family of farmers dealing with their elder son, who isn't quite all there. There's this unsettling blend of melancholy and dark humor, as you watch the family's patience thin while he chats away with his cow—yeah, literally. The pacing is a bit slow, which might turn off some viewers, but it works to enhance that surreal atmosphere. The performances are raw and honest, giving a unique lens into their dynamics. It’s certainly distinctive, though not mainstream—it has that underground vibe that makes it stand out in a collector's shelf.

This film is a bit of a hidden gem, not widely circulated, making it a treasure for collectors. It hasn’t seen many re-releases, so original copies are increasingly rare. The combination of its unconventional narrative and subdued performances can make it a point of interest for those who appreciate offbeat cinema.
