"The life is dream"

Rating: Null/10 (29 April 2007)

A Kafkaesque atmosphere and a very good acting. Exploration of illusions, desires and the human limits. Illustration of old Calderon de la Barca "The life is dream". Analys of truth and memories, connection between facts and shadows of fear, fragility of truth and social statute, ambiguous contact with the other and traumas. A great film for tension, script and a brilliant Michael Douglas falling in a different world. Only problem- the end. The happy-end as ordinary solution but a real error in this case. A joke after a beautiful story for save the appearances. After the father's gesture, the party. A moral solution for a surrealistic show. And yet, a subtle pledge for search of existence's sense and for understand the world as a huge puzzle in which every piece is projection of a secret desire.
