Unlike L'ange, shot in the studio, Un rêve solaire is largely made up of real shots. The actors are no longer played under masks. The actors are us, spectators of unknown representations, or maybe even stellar spectators, a crowd of anonymous spectators standing out on skies of fire and water, but surely a part of a childhood dream during a journey by train.
"There are not, or very few, words in my films. The music of Michèle Bokanowski plays a decisive role because it tells, in its own way and in counterpoint, what images or characters do not say." - Patrick Bokanowski
"Un rêve solaire tells, concretely, of a struggle between shadow and light. These two simultaneous movements give the film its dynamic principle and its plastic energy." - Jacques Kermabon
Patrick Bokanowksi, born in 1943, is a French filmmaker who makes experimental and animation films. His work lies on the edge between optical and plastic art, in a gap of constant reinvention.
