The Edge of Dreaming

When scientist/filmmaker Amy Hardie dreams that her horse is dead, she goes outside to find it true. Shortly after, she dreams of her own death aged 48. 'The Edge of Dreaming' follows Amy through the year as she explores the notion of mortality, dreams and human psychology. Set in the family home, this self-reflexive documentary is full of warm and tender moments. The experimental cinematography also worked very well. In terms of substance- it all depends on how open-minded you are. Although the film was an interesting journey into the realm of dreams, they continue to mystify us... and I kind of like it that way!
