A television adaptation of August Strindberg’s A Dream Play, the film follows Agnes, the daughter of the god Indra, as she descends to Earth to witness the conditions of human existence. Through a succession of loosely connected scenes, she encounters individuals from different walks of life, with events unfolding according to dream logic rather than linear narrative.

With so many Disney remakes out and about in the world and loosed upon Hollywood cinema, there is one Disney film that truly needs to be seen and witnessed on the big screen: Princess and the Frog.
An action-packed adrenaline rush with a diverse cast that delivers evocative storytelling.
Queen & Slim is a nice example of representation in both cast and crew
Alongside A Drowning Man, I Signed The Petition, 3 Logical Exits, and A World Not Ours, A Man Returned continues to paint a realistic portrait of the Refugee Crisis that eschews the Western gaze and stereotype. These are real portraits painted by a director with lived experience, cultural connection and an amazing eye for visuals.
All in all, “Event Horizon” is a cinematic misfire, begging to be perfected in the future. While it possesses an array of admirable visuals, the film leaves much to be desired. If only we could see Anderson’s preferred cut, which featured more character development and tortuous imagery. In the meantime, I have a catchphrase for this film: In space no one can hear you snore.
