Review of Dreams

Dreams (1955)
10/10
An Essay on Marriage and Passion.
25 March 2001
This film talks to all of those concerns that each of us has to face, at one time or another, in our relationships. I cannot put into words what is depicted in this film... but I can say that anyone that appreciates the perversity of Eyes Wide Shut or Husbands and Wives (in how they treat the subject of marriage/commitment/relationships) should enjoy this film. In fact, I wouldn't doubt that this is the original and the best film to tackle the subject.

The subject matter is presented in a somewhat tragic sense, but I think the film is rather uplifting in its treatment when it is considered from beginning to end. The simplicity of the presentation also leaves the viewer with the sense that this is a very poetic film.

I highly recommend this film, especially for those who are sufficiently ancient to have suffered enough in love to understand its (love's) beauty.

Does that sound pathetic or what? But I think it's true.

Enjoy.
