Making Memories
2 Episodes
A pair of boldly imaginative cinematic reveries explore the ways in which memories can be manufactured, recreated, and reshaped. In Léo Berne and Raphaël Rodriguez’s CENSOR OF DREAMS, a band of hapless bureaucrats work overtime to thwart a woman’s subconscious mind from wandering into its darkest realms—but how long can the truth be suppressed? It’s a perfect companion to Hirokazu Kore-eda’s revelatory international breakthrough AFTER LIFE, a profound, soulful meditation on mortality and cinema itself in which the recently deceased are given an opportunity to choose—and relive—one memory to hold on to for eternity.
