Wie im Traum

About This Movie

Wie im Traum is this curious exploration of sibling dynamics, contrasting the confident, socially adept Anna with the dreamier, more introspective Ulrike. The film has a certain languid pacing that allows viewers to dwell in their world, making the emotional weight feel heavier as the story unfolds. There’s this tangible sense of longing and disconnection, beautifully conveyed through the performances, especially from the actress playing Ulrike, whose vulnerability resonates. The atmosphere feels almost ethereal, and the lack of a well-known director adds to its enigmatic charm, making it stand apart in the landscape of 70s cinema.

Wie im Traum remains somewhat obscure, which definitely adds to its charm for collectors. The scarcity of prints and the elusive nature of its director have made it a sought-after title among cinephiles interested in the lesser-known gems of the late 70s. While not widely distributed, those who have it in their collection often appreciate the unique perspectives it brings on familial relationships, making it a distinctive entry in the era's cinematic catalog.
