Jessica Chastain premiered her latest film “Dreams” at the Berlin Film Festival, describing it as “undeniably political.” The movie, directed by Michel Franco, follows the story of a Mexican ballet dancer named Fernando who dreams of fame in the US with the support of his lover, Jennifer, played by Chastain. However, their relationship quickly turns sour as Fernando struggles to find his place in Jennifer’s world after illegally crossing the border. Chastain stated that the film delves into the complex relationship between the US and Mexico, especially in light of recent immigration policies under President Donald Trump. Director Franco emphasized that the characters’ relationship mirrors the relationship between the two countries, noting the abuse and dependence that exists. Chastain, known for her feminist roles, expressed her interest in playing a character like Jennifer who makes mistakes and takes missteps, sparking conversation and debate. “Dreams” tackles timely and pressing issues related to immigration and relationships between nations, making it a thought-provoking and relevant film in today’s political climate.
