Dream Life (La vie rêvée)
Part of the The Conversation Strand
In Mireille Dansereau’s ground-breaking Dream Life, female liberation collides with desire, exploding into a fizzy, frenetic pop of a film. Isabelle (Liliane Lemaître-Auger) begins work at a film production company where she meets Virginie (Véronique Le Flaguais), an animation artist. The women become fast friends and soon their lives, dreams and desires merge into one. Noted as the first narrative feature directed by a woman in Quebec, Dream Life is ripe for rediscovery, thanks to a new digital restoration from Éléphant films. [15]
