Isaiah and Jeremiah
The art, which is in some ways reminescent of Antonio Gaudi's work in Barcelona, is stunning. It's fascinating to watch Isaiah at work, mixing electric blue and pink pigment into cement and constructing his murals. But the real strength of this film is the personal journey that Jeremiah, the filmmaker, goes on as he unflinchingly examines his father's behavior. Jeremiah appears on camera only very briefly, but we feel his presence, his need to chronicle and expose his family's emotional and highly dramatic dynamics--to himself and to us. We never doubt that his search is an honest one, that he's seeking some sort of understandin of his own place in the family's story, or perhaps a sense of reconciliation with his self-involved father.
The images and emotions of In A Dream will stick with you.
