Sweet Dreams (2012)
Watch this film
Sweet Dreams is one of the best independent films I have ever seen. Without giving too much away, I will give an over view of the film. It is about these women in Rwanda who want to start a business. This is not something many women do in Rwanda, because everyone is so poor, and men are usually the ones with the job. These women are all a part of a drumming troupe. They decide to open up an ice cream shop, because ice cream does not exist in Rwanda. They go through many complications along the way, but in the end, it all turns out good.
The film uses mainly natural lighting. They use long shots, medium shots, and some close up shots. They use mainly eye level shots throughout the film. The editing is cut and cross-cutting. They have some text track that mainly tells where they are or who they are. They use some voice over sounds, but the narration is mainly on screen.
Overall, I would highly recommend this film. It was very well made. It makes you feel certain emotions through the film (warning you may cry like I did). Go and watch this film and recommend it to your friends!
