Village of Dreams
An enchanting, blissful look at the magic and terror of childhood. Identical twin brothers, now successful artists, recall the summer of 1948 when they were eight years old and their Japanese village was a place full of wonder and magic. "The brats," as they were known, spend their days skinny dipping, fishing for eels and chasing birds in the woods - when they're not busy causing mischief at home or school. This visually ravishing film follows their adventures with humor and Zen-like clarity - powerfully evoking the boys' vibrant sensations and emotions.
