Land of Dreams

About This Movie

Land of Dreams is an intriguing exploration of identity and freedom, wrapped in a blend of comedy and drama that feels both intimate and socially conscious. The film follows Simin, an Iranian woman navigating the odd terrain of American life while working for a bureaucratic system that’s more sinister than it appears. The pacing is deliberately measured, allowing you to sit with the absurdity of her situation. There's a unique tension, as Simin's compassion clashes with the chilling implications of recording dreams. The performances are nuanced, particularly how they convey a sense of longing and disillusionment. It's one of those films that sticks with you, thanks to its whimsical yet unsettling atmosphere and thought-provoking themes about autonomy and surveillance.
