The Dreamed Path
Dreamed Paths: The Films of Angela Schanelec
February 7 - 13, 2020
Chance, emotion, and dreams determine the trajectories of two couples whose lives become unexpectedly entwined in this enigmatic film of mesmerizing shots and indelible gestures.
The Dreamed Path traces a precise picture of a world in which chance, emotion, and dreams determine the trajectory of our lives. In 1984 in Greece, a young German couple, Kenneth and Theres, find their romantic relationship tested after his mother suffers an accident. Thirty years later in Berlin, middle-aged actress Ariane splits with her anthropologist husband, David. Soon, these two couples’ paths cross in unexpected ways, short-circuiting narrative conventions of cause and effect as well as common conceptions of the self. Schanelec puts her signature formal control to enigmatic and subtly emotional ends in a film of mesmerizing shots and indelible gestures. A New Directors/New Films 2017 selection.
On February 20, The Dreamed Path will be the subject of Film at Lincoln Center’s next Film Club, a quarterly discussion for New Wave members exploring a film’s aesthetics, themes, and why it matters over wine and light bites. New Wave is FLC’s membership group for movie lovers in their 20s and 30s with year-round events and mixers. Learn more about New Wave here.
Playing as part of our Angela Schanelec retrospective (Feb. 7-13), leading to the opening of I Was at Home, But… on Feb. 14. See 3+ films during the retrospective and save!
