The Dreamed Path
Directed by ANGELA SCHANELEC
Starring MIRIAM JAKOB, THORBJÖRN BJÖRNSSON, MAREN EGGERT
Released 10 MAY
The German director Angela Schanelec has the ability to make an innocuous shot of water being poured into a glass appear is her 11th feature and any attempt to offer a succinct plot précis would be a foolish endeavour indeed. It begins with a couple badly singing a cover of ‘The Lion Sleeps Tonight’ and being handsomely rewarded for their efforts by passers by. As Greek activists celebrate their country’s entry into the EU in the adjacent carpark, the man (Thorbjörn Björnsson) receives a phone call and discovers his mother is in hospital. He breaks down and then the couple swiftly part ways.
