Rêves de femmes

A lightly constructed story about the disillusionment of two women, a young naive model Doris and her boss Susanne. During a business trip to Gothenburg, they argue about their dreams and ideas about men and happiness. With the exception of a few very suffocating scenes, Bergman chooses a rather light to comedic perspective, works easily with thoughts, provides very nice points with individual episodes, but still failed to overly draw me into the world of both protagonists. Perhaps I was bothered by the intentionally naive and superficial styling... Maybe I just didn't like the overall mood of the film. In any case, I consider Dreams to be a weaker part of the master's filmography. (29/10/2008)

I prefer to watch Bergman's more depressing films, but even the somewhat lighter Dreams has an undeniable quality, as does almost all of his extensive oeuvre. In addition, the film is adorned with great performances by the leads Eva Dahlbeck and Harriet Andersson. (09/10/2020)
