Instead, Sweet Dreams provides compelling evidence of the mess these wider historical forces make in the lives of the characters within the volatile microcosm the director portrays so vividly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the family and business led by the imperious patriarch Jan (Hans Dagelet), the rot had clearly set in long before these events. That said, Jan isn’t around to see the changes to come, what with his sudden death after one of his nightly visits to the room of Siti (Hayati Azis), his Indonesian housekeeper. With the disorder in the household further compounded by a workers’ protest, his widow Agathe (Locarno winner Renée Soutendijk) demands the return from Europe of Jan’s pompous son Cornelius (Florian Myjer) and heavily pregnant daughter-in-law Josefin (Lisa Zweerman). When they all learn of Jan’s decision to bequeath his estate to his son with Siti, the ensuing power struggles add a further degree of turbulence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRealizing the promise she displayed in her first feature Take Me Somewhere Nice, Sendijarević delivers a film that’s remarkable for its ruthless intelligence, visual flair, and astute take on the ways personal relationships can be poisoned by the systems and structures in which we operate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDutch submission for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film, 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003edirected by: Ena Sendijarević\u003cbr\u003estarring: Hans Dagelet, Hayati Azis, Renée Soutendijk, Florian Myjer, Lisa Zweerman\u003cbr\u003e2023 \/ 102 min \/ 1.33:1 \/ Dutch, Indonesian DTS-HD MA 5.1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAdditional info:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eRegion A Blu-ray\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eStrange Times with Ena Sendijarević\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eTheatrical Trailer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eBooklet Interview with filmmaker Ena Sendijarević\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eEnglish subtitles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Dekanalog","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44503112843464,"sku":"DKA025 SLIP","price":49.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/8486\/3688\/files\/sweetdreamsbdslip.webp?v=1741045573","url":"https:\/\/videomatica.com\/es\/products\/sweet-dreams-us-import-limited-edition-slipcover-blu-ray","provider":"Videomatica Ltd (since 1983)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
