Berlin Golden Bear Winner ‘Dreams’ Scores Further Sales in Australia, Mexico, South Korea and More (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comLeo Barraclough International Features Editor Berlin sales outfit M-Appeal has sealed further deals for Norwegian director Dag Johan Haugerud’s Berlinale Golden Bear winner “Dreams,” as well as additional sales for “Sex” and “Love,” the other films in the director’s trilogy. “Dreams” follows Johanne, a young woman who documents her first love — an infatuation with her teacher — through intimate writing.
When her mother and grandmother discover her work, their initial shock turns to recognition of its literary merit. As they weigh publishing it, Johanne is forced to reconcile fantasy with reality, while all three women explore their differing perspectives on love, sexuality and self-discovery.
Vendetta Films has acquired the trilogy for Australia and New Zealand. “We fell in love with ‘Dreams’ and we think this unique and mystery-filled spin on the age-old tale of a student falling for their teacher is perfect for modern audiences.
We’re so excited to bring Dag Johan Haugerud’s trilogy to screens across Australia and New Zealand,” Jill Macnab, general manager of Vendetta Films, told Variety.
