Writer/director Borgli begins his film on a strong note of surrealism, in which a flying dream is the first indication of the widespread phenomenon of Paul casually walking into a dreamscape. As the story progresses, Paul becomes instantly famous for being a figure in everyone’s dreams, though the dreams widely vary.

When the nature of the dreams turns dark, Paul’s sudden fame reverses itself, as people become afraid of the sight of him.

Cage is wonderful in this, changing his outward appearance and creating a portrait of a man who is well meaning, intelligent and foolish. I enjoyed Cage’s performance far more than the film overall.
