What critics compared Dream Scenario to
(Borgli’s Dream Scenario suffered from a similarly discursive editing scheme.)
A diferencia de Sick of Myself, donde el exceso y lo grotesco operaban como mecanismos de crítica, o de Dream Scenario, donde el absurdo adquiría una dimensión colectiva, aquí la estrategia es más contenida, pero también más calculada.
As in Borgli’s “Dream Scenario,” a person turns into a meme before our eyes.
His previous A24 satire “Dream Scenario” explored similar territory around validation, conformity, and the moral weight we assign to people based on experiences they may not have actively committed.
Bold Norwegian writer-director Kristoffer Borgli, who previously generated meaningful emotional friction with films such as Sick of Myself (2022) and Dream Scenario (2023), stumbles heavily in his latest feature, The Drama.
…his third film and first feature distributed through A24, Dream Scenario. It was with that particular movie that Borgli seemed to be cementing himself as A24’s Norwegian Ari Aster (and yes, Aster even has a producer credit on it). Not to mention cementing himself as a director who could secure “stars.” In that case, it was Nicolas Cage…
Think “Dream Scenario” (2023), “Tar” (2022) and, now, “After the Hunt.”
