sweet dreams
OPENS AT METROGRAPH april 12

Metrograph is pleased to announce the run of sweet dreams,
starting april 12.

Set on an Indonesian island in the waning years of Dutch colonialism, Sendijarević’s sophomore feature is a stingingly sardonic satire observing decadence and moral decay on a sugar plantation, which is thrown into turmoil when, following the decease of its patriarch, it’s revealed that he willed the estate to his illegitimate son with his Indigenous housekeeper. A gorgeously shot study of truly ugly human behavior. “[Sendijarević] has established herself as a formidable talent with… a feel for the manicured, placid surfaces that contain rot and rebellion.”-Variety

A Dekanalog release.
