A few notes on Reading Dream Within A Dream

Author, Filmmaker, and Musician Robert Robertson is going to be giving a number of lectures on Sergei Eisenstein next month at the BFI in London. Most of these lectures will be centered around his book, Eisenstein and the Audiovisual which I mentioned  a few months ago. Fortunately for me he is going to be screening Reading Dream Within A Dream-not sure what lecture yet, but I am pretty thrilled. He asked me to compile the location shots for the actual film to discuss during the lecture-so I thought I might as well post them here too. More on this exciting event soon-

L’ÉTRANGER, RADIO PANIK 105.4FM, BRUSSELS

Voices near a Temple a Track from Near Lakes and Voices was played on The Radio Panik show in Brussels-The link is here.

Here is a review about the show The Wire Magazine

L’étranger can be regarded as a story which you can skip if you want. It can be seen as a story you will get more out of if you don’t skip. It can be seen as a kind of symphony, or in another way as a kind of opera: or even a horse opera. It is hot music, a poem, a song, a comedy, a farce, and so forth. It is superficial, profound, entertaining, and boring, according to taste.

It is a prophecy, a political warning, a cryptogram, a preposterous movie.

“That guy in Brussels…” – Bob ‘Dean’ Dobbs
