The Empire of Dreams 1982 Directed by Jean-Pierre Lledo أحلام (Ahlam)

A stubborn director who wants to rediscover the Algiers of his childhood comes up against the “Hollywood” fantasies of his characters, non-professionals all hoping to be able to become “someone else”, at least for the duration of a film… Mise en abyme for a journey into megalomania…
