They make their clients' dreams come true, running the gamut from a bookseller who wants to be General Patton to a gossipy cook who yearns to keep a secret. Beyond the laugh factor, the dreams reflect much about Chinese society. The film-makers' ear for dialogue is acute and hilarious. The film ends on a poignant note, with the dream-makers applying their craft to solemn reverie. All in all, an entertaining and thought-provoking fantasy.
