2026 Cannes Critics’ Panel: Day 10- Valeska Grisebach’s ‘The Dreamed Adventure’

Date:

We has taken her time with her cinema first shoring up with Mein Stern (2001) which was a FIPRESCI Prize (Special Mention) winner at TIFF, then 2006’s Longing (a comp film at the Berlinale) with her 2017 third feature being showcased in the Un Certain Regard section. Almost a decade since Western, Valeska Grisebach continues in her tradition of slow cinema working with themes of observational storytelling, masculinity and social codes inside cultural displacement and European peripheries with The Dreamed Adventure. This is competition film #21 of 22.

The first of the final two films presented in the competition in what feels like dirty dish water slot – the last day of the fest does no film any justice. The Dreamed Adventure received an average of 2.8.
