About This Movie

Dreams (2022) by Chico Lacerda is an intriguing dive into the subconscious. The film blends documentary and drama as the director experiments with the idea of capturing dreams on camera, sleeping with his device in tow. It oscillates between the surreal and the mundane, creating an atmosphere that feels intimate yet expansive. The pacing is reflective, giving time for viewers to ponder the nature of dreams and reality. There's something captivating about the raw, practical effects used to depict these dream sequences—nothing flashy, just grounded in an honest portrayal of the filmmaker's experiences. Performances, mostly from Lacerda himself, have this earnestness that draws you in, making it a distinctive exploration of creativity, vulnerability, and the blurred lines of imagination.
