Dreams (II) (2013)
9/10
PRESS ON THE MARK

Warning: Spoilers
The film starts out with a large number of subplots. The beginning is bogged down with question marks. Are these related? Will they come together? That seems to be a flashback, but whose? About 45 minutes into the film things start to come together. The film maker is showing us things on a number of levels, such as how our childhood influences our lives and can make our dreams difficult. Sometimes by not having a father, or worse having a non-supportive or abusive father.

We see a number of lives: ex-con, policeman, drug dealer, dancer, singer, boxer. Some are seeking stardom, some redemption, others forgiveness...but they all have a dream. And like some dreams, nightmares happen. Unlike the films of the genre where everybody has a happy ending, this film dares to take on a gritty realism. Kudos.

Joel Kapity managed to do this film without explicit sex, nudity and cursing
