Are Dreams Providing a Frame for the Body of Sokurov's Cinema?

Movies that put you into a trance. A gorgeous, powerful trance

Not sure what you’re trying to say, but this was definitely a nice “picture” to look at.

Mother and Son first dialogue is about a dream
Father and Son starts with a nightmare
Russian Ark begins with the narrator asking himself if he’s dreaming..

I don’t know all Sokurov’s cinema but these three movies I have seen are “framed” by an oniric setting

Here you can find a chapter on this topic: “On the blurring of lines”

Thanks, Sofie

really interesting: “.. Sokurov’s images are like dreams appearing like unconstructed pages filling themselves with content all alone. ..”
