POV, Close Up, Dream

Is cinema the art of point of view? Jocelyn Moorhouse, Ida Lupino, Norway's Edith Carlmar, Sofia Coppola, Italy's Liliana Cavani, Kelly Reichart, the great Larisa Shepitko, Jennifer Kent and other great directors demonstrate the art of POV in films. If close ups give movies their intensity, films from Belgium, Hungary, Australia, Finland, China, America, France, Germany and Ukraine, shot over ten decades, show how best to do that intensity. One of the great movie stars, India's Sharmila Tagore, narrates this bold chapter that looks at dreams in films, from Wayne's World, to experimental film, to Jane Campion, Sally Potter, Bulgaria and silent movies.
