The Dreamers (Virgin media shorts)
This is a short film (02:20) which is basically about dreams, it starts of with husband and wife in bed, then the woman gets up (looks as if she is sleep walking) she takes a trip through the whole city (Belgrade, Serbia) while being followed by her husband. She meets up with another man and they share a kiss together. She walks off and her husband asks her questions (in Serbian) ;
Man: Vanja, come back to bed, where are you going
Woman: To bed
Man: Your scaring me, what are you doing?
Woman: I'm dreaming
Man: Of what
Woman: My first kiss
Man: Of what
Woman: My first kiss
Then there is a silence and it ends.
This is my favorite because at the start you are unsure of what is happening and it engages you to carry on watching. It takes you on a journey as you are watching a journey take place on screen. With the beautiful music playing in the background and the atmosphere it sets, it is very hard to take your eyes of the screen. As i am from eastern Europe myself (Serbia) i can understand what they are saying and for me personally it creates a better atmosphere if you can understand the speech and not have to look at the sub titles to understand what they are saying. The music is also very, calm and relaxing. It sets the whole tone of the film.
It is filmed In Belgrade Serbia by the looks of it. Belgrade is the capital. and for them to make a film in the capital with no people about adds more to the film. As in the scenes you can only see the main characters. No passers by, no crowds. This is because it is filmed late into the night. And this being a low budget film, is very special that they were able to do this.
