*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Nora Jacobson's "Nothing Like Dreaming" is probably nothing like you've ever seen before, unless you're familiar with her previous work, or the work of another Vermont filmmaker, Walter Ungerer. While Ungerer's work usually shuns a traditional story structure, in NLD we are shown the growth of a relationship between two unique and interesting characters.
Emma (Bicknell) is a young high school senior, just accepted to Yale, when her friend is killed in a drunk driving accident. Through her rage and sadness, she finds another lost soul to be with- the much older Sonny Gale (Woodard), whose mental health is in serious question.
The two form a relationship around the Fire Organ, a rare musical instrument which Emma helps Sonny make. Most organs are played with air pumped through tubes, but the Fire Organ (an actual instrument) is played by blowing fire from a torch into the tubes, creating a haunting sound to accompany the strange visual.
I don't want to say too much more about this film, only that I would encourage people to try and see it any way they can, because it is a movie worth seeing. www.NothingLikeDreaming.com has screening times and locations, and you can get the video there too. I highly recommend this movie to anyone interested in wading away from the mainstream of independent cinema.
