DREAM SCENARIO

USA | 2023 | COLOR | DCP | 100’ | ENGLISH

Everything in Paul’s life, an academic, family-man living an unsurprising life, turns upside down when millions of people start seeing him in their dreams. But when these night calls take a nightmarish turn, Paul is called to save his sanity and reputation, while dealing with the unexpected fame. Celebrity and cancel culture blend in this trippy comedy from the minds of Kristoffer Borgli and Ari Aster (‘Hereditary’), the latter producing here. Their collaboration solidifies a contemporary cinema of the absurd and the delightful Nicolas Cage lets loose while haunting the entire world with his constant transformations. Th.K.
