“If someone were to tell me I had twenty years left, and ask me how I’d like to spend them, I’d reply Give me two hours a day of activity, and I’ll take the other twenty-two in dreams.” – Luis Buñuel
Cinema has flirted with the fantastic since its origins, but the most potent and penetrating explorations of the unfathomable world of the unconscious can be found in artists’ work. Essentials: Dreams collects together the mythic, the nightmarish and the psychedelic to present pioneering artists’ wondrous visions, revealing cinema in all its magical intensity. Featuring celebrated and influential work by Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí, Lawrence Jordan, Jan Svankmajer and Suzan Pitt.
