Dream of Light Reviews
New York Times
Janet Maslin
In its own minimalist way it becomes a thoughtful, delicate inquiry into the essence of the artistic process, and a tribute to the beauty and mutability of nature. Mr. Erice's film is much bigger than it may appear to be.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The Cinematheque Ontario's international panel voted it the best film of the 1990s, which can only lead me to question what they were smoking at the time.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
Whether it's a documentary or not, the sheer dumbness of the way this movie was put together is alone enough to drag it down.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
Any summary of Spanish director Victor Erice's captivating documentary would sound more like a warning than the enthusiastic recommendation it merits.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
The very act of creation speaks for itself in this amazing portrait of middle-age Spanish artist Antonio Lopez.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
More analytical than contemplative, never less than straightforward, Dream of Light makes no showy bid for the sublime.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A beguiling Spanish film about the creative process and the transitoriness of the natural world.
Chicago Reader
Dmitry Samarov
Rather than showing the romanticized wild-man version of the artist's life that's become pop culture cliche, here is what the work actually entails, moment to moment, day to day, year to year.
