‘Dreams (Sex Love)’ Review: Dag Johan Haugerud’s Golden Bear Winner Takes An Unexpected Look At The Mystery Of Desire – Berlin Film Festival


‘Dreams (Sex Love)’ review: Dag Johan Haugerud’s Golden Bear winner takes an unexpected look at the mystery of desire – Berlin Film Festival

Refreshingly unexpected, Dag Johan Haugerud ’s Dreams (Sex Love) — the first Norwegian film to win the Berlinale’s Golden Bear — breathes new life into the often oversimplified genre of sexual awakening that seems to draw on his twinned career in both cinema and books. With this sharing of Johanna’s inner world, the female-centered Dreams naturally starts phasing in scenes between mother and grandmother that lie completely outside of the teenager’s perspective, and reveal subtle generational and personal differences. Review: Title: Dreams (Sex Love) (Drømmer) Festival: Berlin (Competition) Director-screenwriter: Dag Johan Haugerud Cast: Ella Øverbye, Selome Emnetu, Ane Dahl Torp, Anne Marit Jacobsen Sales agent: m-appeal Running time: 1 hr 50 mins
