4657-4656

Dreamed last night that I was in a set of movie-like sequences that were in French. The dream characters were speaking French and there were English subtitles flashed on the dream screen when they spoke. The dream scenes revolved around the conversations three people were having. I was one of those people. There was a woman and another man. I was lucid enough in the dream to realize that we were speaking in French (which I do not speak in reality). I was hearing and speaking French phrases to the other two people. I seemed to understand what they were saying even without the subtitles. The dream was probably triggered by the movie Red which I watched yesterday. It is a Kieslovski film that is part of a trilogy. I seemed to recognize pieces of yesterday's film--I may have seen it a long time ago.

I've now seen Kieslovski's Red and White but have yet to view Blue. They form a trilogy. I'm also working my way though his Decalogue--10 short pieces that are each about 55 minutes long. Kubrick touted Decalogue as the greatest film ever made. I've watched the first two episodes and they were striking. I'll see how the other eight play out.

I'm becoming quite the film-o-phile! I also have another Kieslovski film and a couple by the Coen brothers. Let the film reels roll!
