Forbidden Dreams

About This Movie

So, 'Forbidden Dreams' is this quirky little comedy from 1982 that you might not hear about often. The whole premise revolves around Paolo Coniglio, this hapless guy stuck in a comics publishing house, just fumbling through life. It’s pretty amusing how he navigates his annoying manager and that overbearing future mother-in-law. The real charm lies in his imaginative daydreams with Dalia, the comic book heroine he's translating. The film has this offbeat, whimsical tone that captures that early 80s vibe perfectly, with some fun practical effects that pop up in his daydream sequences. The pacing can be a bit uneven, but it adds to its charm. The performances, especially from the leads, have this endearing sincerity that makes it worth a watch.
