Our take

Told in three parts, The Dream of Lu is a film dealing with grief: a visually haunting, moving melodrama that sometimes diverts into surrealism. The second feature from Carlos Sama—who received an honorable mention at Mexico’s Morelia International Film Festival & has been compared to Kieslowski!
