Vol. 1 Dream the Name Is Rogells (Ruggells) (2011)
The Lucid Dream
One of the things that struck me when I watched this film was the dialog. Not an easy task to pull off two grown people searching for a bridge and a higher state of consciousness in the midst of desolate beach and a deep forest no less! But they did. They were completely raw and real. The shots and angles were refreshing and unique. Example, shooting through a window and zooming out to a girl on a side walk. The shots were set up exceptionally well using various visual metaphors. Often in Indie films sophisticated shots like these are lost and it just gets sloppy due to time and budget constraints. That's the difference between a guy with camera and an auteur creating a vision. This film lent itself to some of the greatest filmmakers of our time notably, Tarkovsky, Godard, Fellini. Very Impressed.
