Šarūnas Bartas
Plot
A moving world of spirits and ghosts, condemned to brush against one another without really meeting since they have all emerged from a single perpetual dream: that of a young man who no longer wants to wake up, immersed as he is in this world of fascinating spectres.
Sinekatalog’s take
A dreamlike, near-wordless Lithuanian drama of ghostly figures drifting past one another inside one sleeper's endless dream. Slow, hushed and deliberately opaque, it offers mood over story. Patient arthouse viewers will find it hypnotic; everyone else may feel locked out.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
