Interpretation of Dreams
Interpretation of Dreams (a.k.a. Tolkovanie snovideniy) is a 1990 feature documentary film by Andrei Zagdansky, produced in the Soviet Union during the perestroika period.
Plot
The plot of the film is based on a journey through time and archival newsreels. The journey through the film archives begins with the first footage shot by the Lumière brothers, the "arrival of the train" in 1896 (the year of publication of Freud's seminal work of the same name, The Interpretation of Dreams) until 1939 (the beginning of World War II and the death of the founder of psychoanalysis). This journey is commented on by an imaginary dialog between the author of the film and Sigmund Freud.
