One day, a man, a filmmaker, has a dream: he dreams he is making a film that contains all the films he has ever dreamed of. A masterpiece by Pauwels and one of the most resounding film essays ever made, constructed with absolute control of the expressive mechanisms of cinema, and of the film essay in particular, Les films rêvés is a film about films, where the author takes us on a journey through time, space, and the inexhaustible depths of his imagination under the guise of the imaginary reconstruction of all the films he once wanted to make but never did.
