‘Dreams’ Review: Jessica Chastain Plays The Ice Princess In Michel Franco’s Skewering Of Woke Hypocrisy – Berlin Film Festival
‘Dreams’ review: Jessica Chastain plays the ice princess in Michel Franco’s skewering of woke hypocrisy – Berlin Film Festival
Less than two years after making Memory, in which Jessica Chastain falls for a man with galloping dementia, Mexican director Michel Franco has once again set her on a romantic obstacle course in which nothing, including her own moral compass, runs smoothly. The variation here is that the rich family are liberals who support illegal immigrants; the point is that their woke views don’t really impact the daily privilege of their gold-plated lives or, for that matter, the fundamental workings of class under capitalism. Title: Dreams Festival: Berlin(Competition) Director-screenwriter: Michel Franco Cast: Jessica Chastain, Isaac Hernández, Rupert Friend, Marshall Bell Sales agent: The Match Factory Running time: 1 hr 40 mins
