Presskit

It’s a film that wears its heart and pretentiousness on its sleeve, shrouded in the dissonance between the brutal, “trenchant” world of money-making exploitation and the dreamy, “poetic” world of beauty.

Després-Laros, R.and Tapia A. Quote extracted from the Director’s Statement. Le Rêve et la Radio press kit.

“From constantly glitching digital formats and grainy double-exposures to jarring sound mixing and an expressionistic use of classical music, Le rêve et la radio offers a blank canvas for generational discontent to fully erupt.”

Alonso Aguilar, Photogénie

Film Reviews

Le Rêve et la Radio de Renaud Després-Larose et Ana Tapia Rousiouk se démarque par une approche sincère et généreuse. Puisant dans leur propre vie, les deux cinéastes québé­cois bricolent avec humour un univers teinté d’onirisme punk.

À propos de La bande des quatre (1989) de Jacques Rivette, Serge Daney disait que la seule vérité du film, c’est l’hésitation. […]  Le rêve et la radio de Renaud Després-Larose et Ana Tapia Rousiouk semble reconduire l’intuition de Daney à propos du film de Rivette.

Canadian filmmakers Renaud Després-Larose and Ana Tapia Rousiouk pay tribute to Stan Brakhage, Guy Debord, Jean-Luc Godard and Pedro Costa in their first feature, an intriguing experimental exercise looking at the history of cinema and old-school political activism.

Part millennial urban romance, part political essay in the vein of late Godard, it’s a shape-shifting work that nods to and interpolates signifiers from across the history of silent, experimental, and modernist art cinema.

Le rêve et la radio offers a blank canvas for generational discontent to fully erupt, and yet,[…] is its focus on the central social dynamics: the unassuming moments of intimacy and the shared moments of impotence.

Ante todo, podemos pensar a Le rêve et la radio como una invitación irónica para que una generación cegada por la tecnología abra los ojos. Los tres ojos.
