What Did You Dream Last Night, Parajanov?

About This Movie

So, I just came across 'What Did You Dream Last Night, Parajanov?' and it really struck me. The way Faraz Fesharaki weaves these webcam dialogues between Berlin and Isfahan over a decade feels incredibly intimate yet raw. The film's pacing is reflective, almost meditative at times, allowing the viewer to linger on the memories shared. I found the blend of text, recordings, and those VHS snippets to create this warm, yet poignant atmosphere. It's not just about family; it’s about the labor of intimacy, the effort it takes across generations. There's something about the imperfect, personal nature of the footage that resonates deeply, you know? It’s a distinctive take on documentary filmmaking that feels both personal and expansive.
